Is it necessary to put heater to an oscar fish?
Often it can occur that the aquarium heater will get cracked by the Oscars roughhousing, this will cause him to be electrocuted, and can cause you to be electrocuted! Always purchase a high grade, heavy duty aquarium heater with extra thick glass that will withstand being knocked around. We recommend Ebo-Jager Heaters. High quality aquarium heaters that are designed to be put into tropical aquariums with aggressive tropical fish. The temperature required for the aquarium is between 74 – 78 degrees. Because of the Oscar fish’s vivacious nature and large size, adequate aquarium filtration is a must as they produce lots of waste and can be quite messy. A good canister filter will provide the proper cleanliness and be able to handle the large waste load these large fish expel.
