Oscar!

[Lokemer]

So my pacu which is in a 55gallon with two filters is getting a oscar tankmate tomorrow and some one told me that the oscar might eat my pacu is there any way to keep them from eating eachother

mate do you know how big pacu get?they will need atleast a 300us alone not a 55us depending on the tanks size........also oscars are much better suited in a 75us so id advise you not to get the oscar and deffo rehome the pacu straight away...

 

[cujo87]

I wouldn't mix the two, in a small tank anyway

 

[Lokemer]

yeah pacu is getting rehomed but the oscar is coming first can't delay him or else i'd wait till the pacu was gone i don't want the oscar to eat him tho so what should i do

 

[Tolak]

Get a divider when you pick up the oscar.

 

[Lokemer]

yeah thats what i figured i am going to miss my pacu......this person a petsmart told me 5gallons was big enough then i do research on the i-net i have a fish that gets 3 ft long when in a pond and 1.5 feet in a freakin tank im just like......what the hell

 

[england]

it would just outgrow you tank,,,,,mate how big is this oscar?

 

[Lokemer]

well i get it tonight the oscar is probably about the 3-5 inches when i get him


and i meant 55 gallons soz

 

[england]

3-5inches and how big is the pacu?

 

[Lokemer]

maybe 2-4 he won't hold still for me to measure him

 

[england]

if hes nearly around the size of the oscar you should be ok, but as always watch and be careful

 

[Lokemer]

ok. i can't wait till i get him, i hear they are realy great fish.

 

[england]

The best i have three of these guys, Had four but the bigger 11+inch one died because of a tank cycle<my own fault

 

[Lokemer]

Dang how big is your tank.

 

[Lokemer]

Everything is great jsut incase anyone is wonderin the fish are all hiding with eachother from the feeder guppies i put in im betting the 3 prego guppies i have might even give birth b4 the oscar is brave enuf to get them
