Is this breeding behaviour or are they fighting?

I bought them together, but they’ve been like this since day2

6-mth old Tiger

Personally love Oscars with floating plants, always so busy rearranging it, swimming through it, ripping pieces off... He turned it into a huge ball of elodea one time. Occasionally shifts ALL of it to either side of the tank. Just sharing.

How soon should we move out the smaller guys?

Growing out 2 oscars in a 125g. How soon should we expect to have to move out the flagtail and siamese algae eater? We do plan to keep them with the severum if all get along well, and upgrading to 180 gallon in the upcoming months. Advice is welcome

Couple?

Two new oscars arrived a few days ago... Is it possible that they have already mated at this length of 15-20 cm, the previous owner says that they behaved as if they wanted to mate, the larger one with more orange spots was cleaning a flat stone... they are very attached to each other and are calm fish

injured angry fish

i was adding a plant into my oscar’s tank and moved a rock to put the plant behind it and he got mad about it and swam face first into the wall and scraped skin off his head. I’m keeping an eye on him but if anything changes what does anyone recommend if it gets infected?

It’s his cave now

I built a cave for some of the smaller fish, but Oscar dug it out and staked his claim. It‘s his tank, they’re just living in it.

My Good Boy

Just sharing my good boy (well don’t know if that’s for sure) and his nice colors. Ps. I know there’s something wrong with his bottom lip, it’s been like that since I got him, I’m guessing it’s a birth defect or injury healed wrong from when he was tiny. This is Beasty, by the way.

Oscar type?

I want to know what type of an oscar is this? I suspect it's a wild one but the shop keeper told its a tiger oscar.

It doesn't change anything but curious to know if the colouration changes?

3x1.5x1.5ft tank for now. Solo oscar in the tank.

Anyone?

I have a oscar cichlid and wonderd if anyone has had a bilchir paired in the same tank and how they got on. Or what you would recommend to go with.
thanks
