Jelly I know for a fact that an oscar is a very messy eater (i.e. as much food get spat out as get swallowed). With this in mind, what filter is best for them? Most filters quickly get clogged up, and I do want to minimize the loss of beneficial bacteria in the filter media, so is there a particular type of filter that might be better for this fish, or do I need a combination of different types of filters. If so, what might these filters be? 2/5/2009
