Hello. My name is AJ. I enjoyed watching. My dad and I started a new Oscar channel recently . We are watching videos and learning. Keep the good vids coming ! Thank you AJ

[Handygrrl]

Wow! Wasn't going to watch ...because of negative former impressions about Oscars....but I learned so much and changed my opinion! Zenzo is so knowledgeable and informative! Definitely worth watching even if Oscars are not in your future. Just the type of video i love to watch from Aquarium Coop, informative and not 2 hours long....Thank you!

My first Oscar lasted almost 10 years with me but it died when my filter broke and I didn't notice until it was too late 😭

I got a second Oscar and it's now around 4 years old. I think it and my dog are friends! The Oscar's tank is on the lower level of a double bunk stand and my dog would sometimes hang around the tank, and he and the Oscar would stare at each other. My dog also sleeps beside the tank sometimes.

my friend had an oscar who would greet you at the front of the tank and then the oscar would look up at the surface and then look back at me as if the cutie wanted to be fed :3 and i instantly fell in love with these fish.

Here is another plus. When they eat you can hear them chew.

My ultimate favorite 💕
Have you tried feeding them with fresh market shrimps on a regular basis? It usually gets rid of the HITH.

I have 3 Oscars. They're adorable. Keep a lid depending on how they learn to eat. My oscar jump out before. I was fortunate to leave a water change bucket filled with water. After a few weeks he's okay now. They tend to bonk their head on the lid. Let the water level low.

Love the insight my Albino Oscar is one of my favorite wet pets that I own other than my puffers.

[Susbaguetteman]

Like every living thing. Under the proper care and right parameters they are undeniably awesome fish to have

[quki]

I want one! They always seem to look at me when i visit my aquarium store. They look so intelligent. I wish I could pet one. 🤗

[brianmarshall]

Oscars are great fish. If I had the space and an aquarium suitable, I’d get one. 👍🏻

[TheGrimm]

I have three Oscars and they are my favorite fish I have they all have their own personalities

[Wutlatte.]

Just a little extra info:
Bumblebees are NOT a variant of A.ocellatus but a seperate species called Astronotus crassipinnis.
From my exprience they are more aggressive towards their own kind.

Great video. Zenzo looking like a badass with the beard

I start off with a 10 gallon and try to get the smallest oscar. After that 50 gallon tank and then 75 gallon . Can’t wait to buy my Oscar!!! 11/30♐️

Hopefully with the internet this doesn't happen anymore but back in the day so many people bought oscars and dumped them into their community tanks with very negative results. For that reason I hated oscars. What I actually hated were unscrupulous pet store owners and uninformed aquarium owners. . .

[justindabulskis]

I have an important question that I hope you can answer! I have two tiger Oscars, about 6 months old. I bought them together a few months ago. They are currently in a 55 gallon, and I am getting a bigger tank soon. One of my Oscars is slightly bigger and seems to be getting aggressive torwards the other oscar. The other Oscar will lay on its side and shake its fins. Sometimes they will shake their fins at the same time as well. What does this mean?

[Symplectics]

Hello I have a question. Can I put 2 Jack Dempsey’s in with my 2 Oscars?

[blowintoblitz]

I’ve a large Oscar had it since it was a pup but lately i have spotted it has bubble in its eye and tried some treatments from my local pet store so you have any idea how to get rid off this. Thanks
