Why? That's like saying any fish should be kept in pairs. Unless you want to breed what is the benefit of that besides the male constantly pestering the female which isn't a benefit for her.

ahem....date. Necro thread. ;)

But I agree, osacrs can be kept as individuals. I've seen it done, and they are fine with it. Just let them bite you once in awhile so they know you love them. ;)

Doh - I didn't even look at the date since the post was near the top of this section. I guess the fish section here don't get much activity. Going to have to change that :P

Well since it's been brought back up hubby says he agrees Oscar over Arowana. He has 2 Oscars with 4 Silver Dollars. Definitely have personality. :gj:

I've owned both and the Oscar is far more forgiving when it comes to real estate. My Arowana out grew my 75 gallon aquarium and finding a home was extremely difficult.

On the positive side, if you can't find a home for your fish, get a little butter and some Old Bay and a two foot Arowana can easily feed a family of four. ;)
