After having to euthanise my poor Oscar this morning (thread here ) I went to my LFS to see if they had any of the young Oscars left that I'd seen the past couple of weeks.

They did have 2 adult sized ones but both looked extremely battered and although I'd happily help rehome another large Oscar, they didn't look too well off at all.

Anyway, the tank that had been previously bursting at the seems with young Oscars was down to 3 tigers and 2 albinos so not much choice, however one chose me by swimming straight over to look at me so he's the one I had.

The only concern I have is my Bichir. I think the O is too big for it but I know Bichir's can get more in their mouth than you'd think possible. Hopefully keeping it well fed will stop it showing too much interest.

They'd not long been fed so he's a fat little bloater in the pics. I'm sorry that these pics turned out so appalling, I'll try for some better ones at some point. Before anyone says it, yes I do need to get the algae scraper out!

Nice replacement, bro!
You sure don't waste time!
Give the bichir enough to eat and keep an eye on them.
Man, i love the sight of a small tiger, he'll be big soon enough!
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

Very cute little Oscar. Bichir can indeed get quite a lot in their mouth so definitely keep a close eye for a few days and if you see any sign of the bichir eyeing up the Oscar, remove one of the fish before it is too late.

Anyway, good luck with this fish

I thought if I left getting another too long then they'd be sold out locally. The only other place I know of that gets them in is a 2hr round trip. I put some food in for the bichir to make sure it wasn't hungry but 2 silver dollars hoovered it straight up lol

Bichir has swam past the new oscar a few times and not shown any interest so fingers crossed.

Took a couple of vids. A few of the other fish made appearances though.
