I came across this video on my news feeds today.? At first glance it seemed a fun video where the fish gets the cat - yippee I thought!!? It did mildly amuse me.
But then I watched it again, and you soon realise the fish isn't in it's best environment.? This is because:
1.? It is an Oscar fish.? Although they look cute when they are young, they grow big, and as you can see from the video it is already a large size, and?this is ALMOST full size.? A two foot aquarium is not good for this large and boisterous fish.? They like to swim round, dig up the gravel, move decor around and sometimes have a go at breaking equipment.? They, like all big fish, need space.
2.? Having a lid that only partially covers the aquarium isn't adequate.? These fish, as proven here, jump!
3.? Oscars are predatory meat eaters and are known to even have a 'nibble' at owners fingers when they do a water change.? They eat small fish fry, and smaller aquarium fish.? Their favourite food is cat (sarcasm) so it's a good job that is what the owner is feeding it as I can't think why else you would let it be there??
Pet cats get plenty of space to parade around.? Why not give the same privilege to your pet fish?
If you are wanting to set up an aquarium for a particular kind of fish, but don't know how, please contact me for an aquarium set up service.
