I bought 2 oscar fishes 5 months ago to put them into my outside pond. The reasons I got them for the outside pond was that the sales-man told me they could stand the cold in the winter!!! I like them as well because they were very wild, which was totally different from the rest of the lazy colourful fishes i've got in the pond (most of them were cap fishes)...
5 months have passed.....
Suddently yesterday, before our isys class, i found one of my oscar fishes was tiredly lying at the bottom of the pond, which was so not him, the active one that i have known. I thought he was just having a good rest. I came back to visit the fishes today! After a long day at work, i was hoping to be entertained by seeing the fishes chasing eachothers...BUT NO!!!! Both of my OSCARS HAVE GONE TO HEAVEN :(( (R.I.P)
I checked the pH of the water, it was fine? So i thought to myself it must be the cold that killed them:((
So one hint people! If you are intending to have OSCAR fishes for your pond, make sure you keep them warmed in the winter!
