3. Wild Baby Oscar Tank - Feeding 8 different Kinds of Foods!

This fish is called wild oscar cichlid, or Astronotus ocellatus wild.
The feeding occurred over the course of THREE days. I would never feed my oscar this much all at once.
This wild oscar most likely came from a commercial breeder. Oscars aren’t endangered species, and some are probably caught from the wild. However, most oscars are easily bred in a tank.
The new albino pleco was a risky move b/c the oscar was already in the tank and had established his territory. Usually when adding a pleco with an oscar, you should add the pleco first or maybe both at the same time.
Sure enough, the oscar attacked the albino pleco for around 3 days. The pleco’s fins were torn and the oscar attacked him all the time. I almost took out the pleco twice. However, on the fourth day, the oscar finally realized that albino pleco’s aren’t tasty and too tough to eat, so he ignores the pleco now completely.
I bought an albino pleco b/c I always wanted an albino pleco with an oscar. The oscars that I’ve kept a long time ago ate the albino pleco that I had bought b/c the pleco was too small. I made sure this pleco was much bigger than the oscar.
The gold nugget pleco is still doing fine, but still never leaves the driftwood. I know they are nocturnal, but even at night when the lights are all off, he still never leaves the driftwood. He eats the driftwood all the time, so I don’t think he’s gonna die anytime soon, but I’m worried about him. I tried feeding around 6 different kind of foods. I tried 4 different kinds of veggies at different times, all boiled, and stuck it right next to him. Still nothing.
The albino pleco and the gold nugget pleco completely ignore each other. They don’t care about each other at all. The albino pleco cleans the algae really well as I had hoped. The glass and rocks are pretty clean now, all the time.

Adorable, I love doing this with my oscars. I've had them since they were both 1 1/2 inches and now they're almost a foot long. Very sweet fish, the female likes being 'pushed' (gently by hand) around the tank to her food and the male is very nice about not eating the pellets she's after

Dude that Oscar was soooo cute! It looked so excited to see you with the food it could barely contain itself! I've been watching your videos for a while and they were the first thing that introduced me to the aquascaping/fishkeeping community. These videos made me realize how fish can beloved pets worthy of attention and love (and maintenance) just like cats or dogs. Maybe one day, when I'm living on my own, I can start my own aquarium, though I don't think it'll be anytime soon. For now, I just love seeing how you and others care for your fish

This, and your other videos remind me of why I loved biology and the earth sciences class so much in High School. Summer before my Freshman year began, I took a biology class where we built these fresh water ecosystems, however, we had to collect, identify and ultimately cultivate our specimens during our morning trek to the pond at our local Forest Preserve. Loved every moment of it, even though i was the only incoming Freshman, and the only girl.
