hands off the O!

the first thing i learned about fish... their slime coat is their key to survival...

poor fish... if you read the comments i just tore into his ass.

I stroked my Oscar ones 2 weeksago during maintenance.
Usually he's very laid back but this time he swam round and BIT ME HARD.
So he made it clear that handfeeding is cool, but touchin him is a definite NO!
Allthough it's bad for the slimecoat, worf seems to enjoy it.
Dunno if the guy is spending most of his time stroking te fish or that it;s just for the video...

lol i swear you had a reply up before i posted here... thats funny lol...

i found that by googling "big oscar tiny tank"...


and ya.. if i stick my hand anywhere near him he flares his mouth and shakes his head... if i try to 'pet' him... or even get near him when im cleaning algae off my glass... he hits me hard lol. once it drew blood on my knuckle. i used to think it was cute how he was defending his territory... hes too big for cute now lol... i jump like a scared little schoolgirl every time now since he got me that one time.

i can do that with all my fishes including the pangasius at night time.
but during day time, pangasius seem to bee spoke and darted away while
BlackStripe usually resist and bite me hard.

whether or not it lets you do it... isnt what i was debating... i just dont see that being good for them! slimecoat = immune system.

True, but it was worf's vid that made me see that Oscars are one of a kind and can show some (what I thought to be) Fish-unlikely-behaviour.
Now I'm hooked on O's...

ROFLMAO!!!! Win don't feel bad. I do the same thing. My O's are getting ready to lay eggs, I was cleaning the tank the other day, and she was very upset... She bit me hard for the first time. I had a hell of a time finishing that tank... LOL. She scared the crap out of me.!!!

same here, saw that vid and had to get one.
but i see where win is coming from.
my oscars will come near me, like an inch away when i'm vaccuming the gravel, but if i try to touch them, they dart out of reach very quickly
Please, for my sake, change your oil!
