I suppose they don't.

I've seen them live... Suppose the dying would be a better fate.

Dont have the Oscar anymore, heater got turned off when we were moving a couple years ago and he went floating. He was 10" long. Still have the Pleco, he's about 14" now.

Oh, tough. x.x
When I first got Oscar (Creative, eh? lol) his titanium heater, I forgot to put the water sensor in. All of my tiger botias died at 95 fahrenheit, but somehow him and the plecos survived.

If I didnt have the reptiles to take care of, I would do a big( I mean reinforce -the -floorboards "big") saltwater tank- but no way I'm doing both at once.

Saltwater tanks annoy me. Too much startup effort. lol

If I had my way I'd do a 125 gallon with jet outputs on one side and receivers on the other end with a whole bunch of botias and barbs.

I was out the other day collecting specimens for my bigger tank...

I didn't know they had stabbers?? Wow.... I just bought a pleco about 3 weeks ago, so he is still small.

We have had several freshwater fish tanks in the last 10 yrs.

My daughter wants an Oscar bad!!!

1. Only the bristlenose and "exotic" species have them; the standard plecs just have stabby pectoral fins.
2. Make sure she's ready for the commitment... I've read articles saying oscars are in breeding condition anywhere from 14-20 years, and that's just how long they're good reproduction wise!

Well... They were $120 imported. x.x
Which I guess is a good deal. I lurv them to pieces. They get salmon, sliced peas, green beans, blood worms, blackworms, Omega One goldfish flakes, freeze dried brine shrimp, mosquito larvae, fruit flies, fruit fly larvae, romaine lettuce, oh the list goes on. XD

I didn't know fish could eat all that? I give my fish the Omega One goldfish flakes, freeze dried brine shrimp. But that is it!!!
