   RS> blues.zapto.org (1:261/220) Tank is a 55 gallon Long  I found out from the   
   RS> pet store today that  the oscar would probably kill the koi so i ended up   
   RS> just buying a  couple of fancy tailed  Goldfish to go in with him   
      
      
   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.
