Will adult red belly pacu fight adult Oscars?
Actually the Oscar won't fight. I had a red-belled pacu in a tank with an Oscar and I came home one day and the pacu had eaten the Oscar and a kissing fish and a parrot fish. They aren't suppose to eat fish their size but I think mine taps more into the nature of his piranha cousins than most. If you get both just be careful and make sure the Oscar is bigger and dominant. On the contrary every Oscar and every pacu has different personalities. Some will fight some will not. I have an Oscar in a 1500 gallon tank that hates pacu. And I've got a pacu that hates Oscars... So you never know...
Can Albino Clawed Frog and Albino Oscar live together?
no the Oscar will eat it. i bought an albino clawed frog and my Oscar at it the frog was in the tank for ten min. I had a couple of the albino frogs in the tank with several large Oscars and a synadontis catfish for years. Needless to say when i got the Oscars the frogs were larger than them and unable to eat them so i think that helped a lot. One of the frogs did happen to get eaten by the catfish though when I was transproting them to my new apartment.

What size tank should you keep an Oscar fish in?
One Oscar needs around 20 Gals. Two can survive in about 30 gals. If you wish to rear Oscars you will need at least 5 young fish to avoid deaths from bullying and you will need to house them in at least a 50 Gallon tank.
How do you move a full grown Oscar from the upstairs to downstairs safely?
This is not an easy job. Get a clean 5 gallon bucket. Not an old one, but a new one that has never been used. Clean it with WATER. No soaps, no detergents. Take enough water out of the tank to fill the bucket. Place the fish in the bucket. Drain the tank enough to make it light enough for two or three people to carry without dropping it. BE CAREFUL! Once the tank is downstairs, refill the tank. De-chlorinate the water. Add the proper amounts of aquarium salts and Stress Zyme. Try to get the tank refilled as close to the original temperature as possible. Place the Oscar back into the tank and leave it alone for several hours. It will shock a bit, but the fish should be back to normal in a day or two. Oscars are hearty and tough fish. Good luck!
