I had a similar problem but was smart enough to take my questions to the groups. I too tried to put Oscars and Cichlids in the same tank. The smaller cichlids tried to make a meal of the slightly larger Oscars. My LFS said they would be fine together because an Oscar is a Cichlid. Lucky for my Oscars I had a spare 20 gallon tank already set up (had just moved piranhas from it to a 55). So now my son has the Cichlids in his room and the Oscars have since been moved to a 75 gallon tank. In a couple months they will graduate to the new 125 I am buying and the Piranhas will get the 75. If I'd have taken the advice of my LFS I'd probably have just two Piranhas left. But thanks to the groups I have two Piranhas, three Oscars and 10 African Cichlids. --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXPost V1.14 at BBSWORLD * Info@bbsworld.com --- * RIMEGate(tm)V10.2áÿ* RelayNet(tm) NNTP Gateway * MoonDog BBS * RgateImp.MoonDog.BBS at 2/4/04 7:00:12 AM * Origin: MoonDog BBS, Brooklyn,NY, 718 692-2498, 1:278/230 (1:278/230) .
