Question
i have a tiger oscar in a 400 litre tank - with limestone
caves - the pair of electric blue & pair of electric yellow about 2cm and the oscar is 4cm long

they seem to be doing great - no real fighting issues - is this likly to continue

Answer
Hi Rob & Lynda,
  Unfortunately that situation is not likely to continue.  The oscar should rapidly get larger and once he is suitably larger than the other fish, he will eat them.... that is what oscars do.  And they are very good at it.  Oscars are wonderfully interesting fish but they don't play well with others.
