my oscares

Question
I bought two Oscars from my local pet shop i was told they were a breeding pair but since i got them home they do nothing but fight i feed them on prawns and blood worm  i have not owned any type of fish before so i am new to this because i feed them prawns and blood worm i have a high ammonia test and my pH is about 5. something is this bad can U help

Answer
Sounds like you got swindled! First off its almost impossible to visually sex Oscars and secondly they don't pair off but are random spawners and rarely breed in the home aquarium.  Your PH is fine and you can lower your ammonia levels by changing to either pellet foods or flake food with the occasional frozen treat.
