Hi raghu_gg, I'm not sure how you sexed Oscars, I've never been able to, but if your troublemaker is truly a male (appears to be) he most likely is trying to establish himself as the Alph Male. A larger tank might help, to give them each more territory. Other than that he will probably have to be isolated.

Male oscars can be very aggressive I had one that killed three others. It is an alpha fish. I would not keep it in there long. Mine killed the others by hitting there swim bladders.

Hi,
I tried saperating the Male oscar to a hospital tank. But then he is really dull and just stays at the bottom and does not consume any food ( not even live Shrimp ). I fear that i might loose him.

Hi,
Can you please suggest me the best food that fit in for Oscars and Parrots. I have heard that oscars grow really rapidly.
