i can help with the leds  if needed , i use to have a tank with a big red oscar  he was about 12 inches long and would eat  any fish you put in the tank , i think i killed him with the wild baby trout and minnows that i used to put in the tank  to watch him eat , i had no idea  wild fish had germs etc , i also use to keep wild carp mirrors and commons  that was years ago not had a tank for 30 years

I love Oscar's, had a smallish one a few years back (about 8") but had to get rid as he was outgrowing my tank. I used to be able to hand feed him - everytime I opened the tank he'd rise to the surface to see what treats were going. It's mad the way they can recognise the person who feeds them most often and ignore everybody else

I used to hand feed mine too m8, I had a camy colour one his name was arnie and he was a brute. Then I had a fire eating albino ( although not a true albino cos he had 2 black speckles ) it would be really funny when I rearranged the tank because he would spend hours moving all the stuff around to were he wanted it

Malawi's and oscar's are in the cichlid family and are not like the rest of fish kind. Very intelligent fish in many ways, oscars can be trained with a whistle for instance. And most oscars can learn to jump out of the water through a hoop u hold in about a week
