Oscar fish aggression

23 12:01:34

Question
Is it possible that my Oscar fish could have killed and eaten my parakeet?

Answer
Hi Ruth,
  Hmm... oscars can eat a lot of things and if the parakeet actually went into the water, I wouldn't put it past the oscar to eat it. BUT, I strongly suspect that there would be feathers all over the tank if that happened.  Were there any feathers floating in the tank?
