@Lisal - yup, Oscars are busy little aqua engineers (and they like to have their nose petted when someone walks by their tank).

The trick with keeping live plants is to have a rock infrastructure that makes getting to the base of the plant to small for the Oscars to get to (i.e. nooks and crannies made up of large heavy rocks).

Plus keep enough smaller rocks and "toys" in the tank so the Oscars have other things to keep themselves amused (like chasing live food).

I agree, goldfish like lots of space.

We have two 25cm Tiger Oscars in a 500L freshwater tank, and the 12 or so goldfish we put in their tank every other week really seem to like the room, swimming from end to end, nibbling on the live plants, exploring the rocks and caves.

Of course it's only for a minute or so, then the Oscars eat them.

64 years old and 290 pounds, all White Castle has to do is wait (or is that weight) a few years and Darwin will remove the complainer for them.

Of course if he get bigger then 290, it will happen even quicker - so I don't think White Castle is thinking it thru when they're holding back on the free cheese.
