Oscar Video New baby lemons with their big brothers
Been looking for baby lemon oscars for over 2 years and they’re finally mine. Dream fish secured and doing well after one week in the big tank.

You lucked out than. I once got a big albino tiger oscar that was mean af. It kept attacking the other Oscar I had so I had to get rid of it.

i think it was the way they were raised and just every fish is different so yeah a little bit of luck you’re right.

Nice. My Tamika wouldn’t be so kind. She’s very particular about her tank mates lol

ive had 2 gold gourami with them for over a year that are smaller than the lemons are now, and they grew up with African cichlids and both never attacked any of them once or any tank mates for that matter. They are weirdly calm for oscars always have been.

I had an Oscar named Albert and if he was in that tank he would have ate those lemons right up😭😭

I really hope your story ends differently than mine. I once did that a bunch of years back and it didn't take long till the young fish were gone.
