I have two Oscars and both of them are very aggressive. We had a glass heater in the tank and our female attacked and broke it. We replaced the glass heater with a titanium one and put a big plant in front of it hoping that would calm things down. The plant worked for a while, and then one of the fish uprooted it and went back to fighting the heater. There was a cap on the bottom of the new heater that broke off and was dragged to the other side of the tank. We found that rock placement and plants helps with the fighting that the two fish engage in as the plant serves as a referee. We have to use plastic plants in the tank as live ones get chewed apart by our very aggressive Oscars. Your Oscar has really beautiful markings and I can't wait to see him full grown. With a tank that big, he will be massive.

. Oscar may do this for his own amusement.

Hey, Its just for you, who is looking from outside, that surface is a mirror. For for the fish that is inside the tank, it will not be able to see its own reflection. It is looking at something outside the tank. You are experiencing totally internally reflected image. The fish doesn't. You have to get inside and find that I am correct.

It could be his natural predatory behaviour

My clown fish did that shake stuff ...they did it to show dominance..to other one ....but with clown fish they are born neutral and the biggest one becomes female and the next size down would be male and rest are neutral ... Dont know how Oscar's are but probably a dominace thing..... Also with tangs in salt water they use a mirror so the fish sees itself and thinks it is another fish ..and it helps with bullying other fish
