Oscar |
| Astronotus Ocellatus |
| Marble Cichlid, Velvet Cichlid |
| Temperature: 70º - 80º (In the wild they live in slow moving backwaters and pools that can reach 86º) |
| Diet: Typical large cichlid diet of shrimp, food sticks, earthworms, and pellet. Will accept feeders. |
| Length: 12" |
| Compatibility: They are one of the least aggressive cichlids available today. Occasional bullying between tank mates generally ends without damage. |
| Comments: When I first started keeping fish, Oscar's were not one of my favorites. I must admit a certain affinity for them now. When I approach their tank they become very animated and beg for food. |
| Total in my Collection: 1 adult Veiled Albino Tigers, 2 Juvenile Albino Tigers, 1 adult Red Tiger |
