Oh gosh...I am not so certain that you made a wise choice there either. If
and when your oscar begins to grow large, if he gets into a grumpy mood,
and he will, those goldfish may have a difficult time . . . aside from the
other reasons that I already mentioned in my previous post.

BTW, my advice is that you normally disregard the information that you get
from chain store pet departments, and even from quite a few regular LFS
employees. A lot of them are either brainless, inexperienced, or are just
programmed to make a sale no matter the cost in money or fish lives to
the aquarist.

Just some additional food for thought. In other words, educate yourself
before ever making a fish purchase. You'll be glad you did in the long run.
