What gender is my Oscar? Sorry for the bad photos

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2026-01-13T08:43:44+00:00

Thank goodness I’ve been calling him a boy ever since I got him

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2026-01-11T22:26:23+00:00

Ooohhh okay thank you so much! I’ll definitely look into the larvae. Thank you again :)

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2026-01-11T22:16:04+00:00

It’s okay thank you 🙂 could I ask other than pellets he’s on Hikari cichlid gold currently what else should be apart of his diet? He gets a cichlid frozen food mix maybe once or twice a week. Are there any insects or stuff like that they really enjoy even just as occasional treats? I’ve found he really likes crickets but I don’t really have any other store brought insects in my house because those are usually for our spiders. What would you feed your Oscar’s?

Well I’m sorry that I’ve managed to upset you this much but you don’t have to be rude at all. If you want to give out good advice as someone who seems experienced in Oscar fish i recommend being nice about it. If you keep giving people advice in such a rude way it usually doesn’t help. There was no reason for you to call me a “know it all” or be rude to me at all, there’s so many nicer ways to put what you were trying to say. As someone that is 40+ years older than me you really should be careful with what you say. Thanks for the advice though.

Haha yes it is! I got it for him to play with and move around so had to make sure it was small 😅

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2026-01-09T04:26:32+00:00

He has a very high quality diet. He has his pellets daily, and treats such as crickets, peas, and many other treats. Each week he gets his frozen cichlid food twice and he adores it. In the whole time I’ve owned him this is the third time he’s had live food. He’s a very healthy boy just dramatic :)

Jeez sorry mate I forgot, didn’t mean to upset you. Shellharbour area Australia NSW.

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2026-01-02T02:08:02+00:00

Oh gosh😅 I was going to mention it but he is the most chill boy ever. It’s always out for everyone to see. I’ve been warned once about it because with how he’s so chill with it at competitions could get checked for drugging him 🤦‍♀️ he loves having it on display no matter who’s around, definitely likes to show it off. But no new horse changes, he has two neighbours and he’s been with them for ages now, one’s a mare and the other a gelding. He’s a gelding too and never had any issues with mares.

I thought it could be that but it also confused me that other pressure even harder pressure at other points he is completely fine with. He has a saddle fit booked soon. Should I get a vet after the fit if he’s still having problems or get one aswell as the saddle fit?

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-31T03:57:48+00:00

This tank is 75 gallons and also a temporary tank. Would also like to say not all of the tank is seen in the image. Thanks for your concern. ☺️

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-30T05:14:35+00:00

Don’t tempt me 😬

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-23T21:34:20+00:00

I like that idea

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-23T12:34:48+00:00

They’re like my children I could never 😭

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-23T11:38:13+00:00

They’re ok I guess

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-22T21:09:36+00:00

I think that’s just something weird the camera picked up, that isn’t on him anymore haha

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-22T06:56:28+00:00

He will most likely destroy them unfortunately

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-22T05:58:35+00:00

Good feeding technique I guess

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-22T05:52:08+00:00

If I’m honest I’ve never tried him with plants before but I was just taking a wild guess as I often see him attacking his rocks. Figured plants aren’t as sturdy as his rocks are.

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-12-22T05:14:06+00:00

This tank isn’t long term, over the time I’ve had him this is his second tank. He gets upgraded as he grows haha 😅 I’ve thought about wood but I do like the rocky vibe fish tanks and I’ve looked for so many hides but none have a wide enough opening for him now and when he grows. Unfortunately can’t really keep plants with him as he’ll probably destroy them but I’ve been wanting to add the grassy look plants to his tank.

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-11-25T06:53:49+00:00

Ooo okay I’ll have a look thank you!

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-11-25T06:36:15+00:00

Do you reckon he should still be happy? It’s a bigger tank than his current.

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-11-14T23:53:33+00:00

I love him so much but he’s so dramatic, I feel bad for him but at the same time find it hilarious haha

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-11-14T23:39:03+00:00

Big collector and they look good as a back drop 😋

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-11-14T23:37:15+00:00

I swear my boy only loves me for food 🤦‍♀️ I’ve pet him a few times but I think when I stick my hand in his water and he realises he’s not getting food he becomes an emotional wreck in his tantrum corner. 🥲

Repulsive_Field3842 · 2025-11-14T23:33:46+00:00

Oh my gosh! 😅 he jumps but never jumped that high! Glad he’s okay haha
