Care & Setup

• Water Parameters: freshwater setup with a pH about 6.5–7.5 and a temperature range of 74–82°F (23–28°C).
• Filtration & Waste: Oscars produce significant waste; pair with a robust filtration system and regular water changes to maintain water quality.
• Decor & Territory: provide caves, driftwood, rocks, and ample hiding spots to reduce stress and encourage natural behaviors.
• Diet & Feeding: offer a varied omnivore diet—high-quality pellets as the staple, supplemented by frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and pieces of shrimp.
• Compatibility & Tankmates: best kept with larger, robust fish or in a species-focused setup; avoid small or highly passive species that may become targets of aggression.
