Discover the Unique Oscar Cichlid
"Discover the Unique Oscar Cichlid"," Other common names include Velvet Cichlid, Marble Cichlid, and Tiger Oscar. Reaching an average of 12 inches in length, some have been known reach a total of 18 inches and weigh 3LB. Typically dark in colour, orange-ringed spots also known as ocelli are found around the gill area, dorsal fin, and on the sides towards the back end of the fish. When becoming combative or territorial, they are known to change colour rapidly. Oscar Cichlids are known to be aggressive compared to other members in the cichlid family. Noted as being intelligent creatures from aquarists alike, they are able to distinguish their owners apart from strangers. Since Oscars are carnivores, their diet should consist of fish and insects. High quality prepared foods such as pellets and flakes can also be supplemented with the food types previously mentioned. PH should be maintained Improper water and tank maintenance can lead to certain diseases that Oscars are susceptible to, such as HITH, (hole in the head) a disease which affects the sensory organs in the lateral lines and face of the fish, thus causing pitting in both areas.
