I have a 75 gal in my livingroom with my 10" lutino Oscar as its only inhabitant. I wanted to make a rock cave large enough for him to enter and exit on the other side, and some other decor with driftwood. In the tank now is this very fake looking log that has been in there since he was small. I took it out the other day and he sulked in the corner untill I put it back in later. Then he went in his log and watched me for awile. He's now happy again, but I wanted to make a showtank. What would you do.

if your oscar is that attached to his old piece of wood you could try to find a real peice that is similar in shape for him.
personally i would just redecorate the tank and put up with his pouting. eventually he will get over it.

good luck to you
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

They're both right, besides O's are cute when they pout

Thank you for the replies.I think I will build most of the rock structure, get it ready to install, then remove the log and replace it right away with the rocks.

Had one corner where 2 plecos lived but could never vaccuum there, so replaced the plecos and replaced the wood for more swimming space and my 10" fish LOVE it.
And my tank has never been so clean!

I would either make the cave while the O's favourite wood is in there and hope that he will take to the new cave meaning that the log can be removed. If that is not viable, find a way to build the show tank around the wood in a way that hides or enhances it.
