Hehe bought those two red Tiger Oscar 3 days ago, so far they are very friendly never bite and always come to see who's watching them. I have a fire eel in there too she's a little bit shy so i couldn't take a good picture of her she's a beauty.
Here's some picture:




I think the two last are the same one, the other one have more red and orange on it hes color don't close to yellow. So far i think they are healthy they swim everywhere eat alot ( blood worm and shrimp ( both frozen little cube )) they prefer blood worm then shrimp.

I think Fire eel and oscar go pretty good together anyway the eel is hiding until shes hungry so they can't really touch her.

i hope that it stays that way for you. those o's might look at him as a long skinny snack in a years time when they are a foot long.\

btw greatlooking fish and tank.


a tip on the eel. change where his house is. get a flat rock and lean it on the front glass in a part where you wont be obstructing the view of the tank... the eel will start living there, and be right up front on display.

This would be ok when your oscars are small, however I dont think this would be wise when your oscars get big. Large oscars have a lot of power and can move rocks around and the last thing you want is your oscars moving the rock and then the rock falling and hitting the tank and breaking it!

Nice looking babies

Thanks everyone

thanks for the tip win, but so far she's under the gravel. On the right side of the tank i have a rock and one that lean on it and i discover today that she's under the gravel under the rock... just hope she get out to eat soon!

and the eel can easily get up to 30" in aquarium and i read somewhere that she got some spikey on her back that have somekind of venom or something ( not deadly ) not sure about that info tho...
But pretty sure they will get aloung pretty good..

I think one of them have a HITH starting.. not sure tho if it just a scratch, yellow/white spot, or HITH..

Still they are beautiful and very friendly

Very cool couple!
Nice markings, just love that.
Keep your water in pristine condition and give your fish a varied diet and if it is HITH, it will get better soon!
If it's only a scratch, it will heal up fast.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

Its unlikely to be HITH, its probably just a mark from either being caught and transported, or from injuring itself in the tank. If it is HITH, then it should heal quite quickly with good water quality. Test your water regularly to make sure the water is ok
