🐟 Pfauenaugenbuntbarsch „Red Chili“ – Astronotus ocellatus

Der Pfauenaugenbuntbarsch „Red Chili“ ist eine auffällige Farbvariante des bekannten Astronotus ocellatus, auch einfach „Oscar“ genannt. Mit seiner kräftig roten Färbung, die sich deutlich von der dunkleren Grundfarbe abhebt, zählt er zu den schönsten und beliebtesten Zuchtformen innerhalb der Cichliden. Seine imposante Größe, das ausgeprägte Territorialverhalten sowie seine bemerkenswerte Intelligenz machen ihn zu einem faszinierenden Aquarienbewohner – allerdings nur für erfahrene Halter mit sehr großen Becken.


Haltungsbedingungen im Aquarium

Der „Red Chili“-Oscar gehört zu den größten und anspruchsvollsten Buntbarschen der Aquaristik. Er benötigt viel Platz, hochwertige Technik und konsequente Pflege.

🔹 Aquariengröße

Ein Paar benötigt mindestens 600 Liter, besser sind Becken ab 800–1000 Litern. Einzeltiere können auch in 450–500 Litern gehalten werden, dies ist jedoch nicht ideal, da Oscars sehr sozial und paarbildend sind.

🔹 Wasserwerte

Parameter Idealbereich
Temperatur 24–28 °C
pH-Wert 6,0–7,5
Gesamthärte (°dGH) 2–15
Leitwert 100–300 µS/cm

Die Wasserqualität muss stets stabil und sauber sein, da Oscars empfindlich auf Schadstoffe reagieren.

🔹 Filterung & Technik

  • Starke Außenfilteranlage mit biologischer und mechanischer Filterung ist Pflicht

  • Regelmäßige Wasserwechsel (30–50 % wöchentlich) sind notwendig

  • Zusatz von UV-Klärern oder Ozonisierung bei großen Besatzdichten sinnvoll

🔹 Einrichtung

Oscars graben viel – Dekoration muss stabil und standsicher sein. Pflanzen werden häufig ausgerissen oder zerstört und sind daher nur sehr bedingt haltbar (z. B. Anubias auf Wurzeln befestigt). Sand oder feiner Kies eignet sich als Bodengrund.

Einrichtungstipp:

  • Große Wurzeln, Steine, Tonröhren

  • Freischwimmraum nicht blockieren

  • Keine spitzen Gegenstände (Verletzungsgefahr)


🍽️ Ernährung

Der Pfauenaugenbuntbarsch ist ein karnivorer Allesfresser. Er bevorzugt fleischliche Kost, nimmt aber auch pflanzliche Beikost an.

Ideales Futter:

  • Hochwertige Cichlidenpellets

  • Frostfutter: Krill, Garnelen, Fischfilet, Muschelfleisch

  • Lebendfutter (gelegentlich): Regenwürmer, Insektenlarven

  • Gemüse (selten): Erbsen, Spinat, Zucchini (blanchiert)

⚠️ Keine Fütterung mit Futterfischen oder Säugetiergewebe (z. B. Herz oder Leber) – das kann langfristig die Organe schädigen.


📏 Endgröße

Der „Red Chili“ erreicht unter optimalen Bedingungen eine Körperlänge von 30–35 cm, in seltenen Fällen sogar bis zu 40 cm. Das Wachstum erfolgt schnell – Jungtiere können in wenigen Monaten stark zulegen.

  • Geschlechtsunterschiede sind bei Jungtieren schwer erkennbar

  • Geschlechtsreife ab etwa 15–18 cm Körperlänge


🌍 Herkunft

Die Zuchtform „Red Chili“ wurde in Aquarien gezielt auf intensive rote Farbgebung hin selektiert. Die Wildform von Astronotus ocellatus stammt aus:

  • Amazonasbecken in Südamerika

    • Brasilien, Peru, Kolumbien, Französisch-Guayana

  • Lebensraum: langsame Flüsse, Altarme, überflutete Wälder

  • Dort lebt er in strukturreichen Gewässern mit warmem, weichem Wasser


🤝 Sozialverhalten & Vergesellschaftung

Pfauenaugenbuntbarsche sind territoriale Einzelgänger oder Paare. Bei ausreichendem Platz und Erfahrung lassen sie sich mit anderen großen, robusten Arten vergesellschaften.

Geeignete Partner:

  • Andere große südamerikanische Buntbarsche (z. B. Cichlasoma, Geophagus)

  • Große Welse (z. B. Synodontis, Pseudacanthicus)

  • Süßwasserrochen (bei sehr großem Becken)

  • Liefergröße ca. 6-7 cm

Great for chewing but very sharp and mangled in a few days
Color: Blue Gator, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue Gator, Size: 1 Count
I thought this was a fantastic idea having baking soda added for fresh clean teeth while enjoying a new toy. I wanted to review 2 main things about this. First, if my dog enjoyed this toy. That answer would be yes absolutely! She is chewing it as I’m writing this right now. She can spend a good amount of time chewing away on this and it keeps her busy without having to use a rawhide treat which we only try to use if we re going to be gone for longer then 4 hours. The kids love playing fetch with her and she stays engaged the whole time. It is very heavy and when being thrown can become a weapon so I always supervise! Last, the durability of the toy. So it is durable but not completely. As you can see the toy got very sharp where she has been chewing it and I’ve even noticed a little blood on it which means it’s cutting her gums. It wasn’t a large enough amount for me to take it away. It is still almost the exact same size but maybe after a month I will re edit this for more accurate on durability since it’s only been about a week that she has gotten it. Overall, I would recommend this toy it’s a great price and keeps her attention a lot more then other toys I spent twice the amount of money on!

Too Hard
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
I have a pit puppy, 20 lbs, who loves to chew. She's huge for her age, and I wanted to get her a new toy. I bought two different toys, hoping she would like one. The other toy was a hit, they both jumped at it and were excited about it, probably because it had rawhide rings that went with it. This one was immediately thrown to the side, even though my pit loves to chew on non edible toys. I think this one was just too hard, because both her, and my Chihuahua-Jack Russell, weren't interested. It didn't have any smell to attract them, which is why I bought it, because they love peanut butter stuff. I'm not going to go as far as to lick it and taste it... I'm pretty sure it won't taste like peanut butter, either. I feel so bad for my little pittie, she's just sitting here with a sad look on her face because my other dog stole the fun chew toy. I've immediately ordered another of one of those so they both have one, but I've just money wasted on this one. It's probably better they don't like it, I'd be worried about them breaking their teeth. I know it's supposed to be for power chewers, but it has no give whatsoever, just extremely hard, shiny plastic. It's useless, unless you're planning on filing it into a point and making a prison shank. Maybe you can leave it in front of the fridge for your SO to step on in the middle of the night when he goes to steal your almond milk. I'll figure out some way to use it. I did dip it into my boyfriend's peanut butter jar to let my puppy lick it, but I can do that with a spoon. I wanted her to feel like she got something, maybe my other dog will let her have a turn with the fun toy after awhile. That's the only reason I gave it 3 stars. You can dip it in peanut butter and I was being generous.

Can become brittle with sharp edges with use.
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
Our little dog loved chewing this, however after chewing the toy became jagged and brittle with sharp edges that cut into her upper lip which took about 2 weeks to heal. Unfortunately the return window had closed.

Busy bone
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
My dog loves these!! Great busy bone! And they can hold it with her paws really well. It does kill your foot if you step on it barefoot in the middle of the night. This is a picture of the bone after 7months.

My Dog Loves this!
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
My dog loves her Nubbies! My Dog chews her Nubbie every morning after she has her breakfast. She sometimes wants my husband or I to hold it for her while she chews on it. I think it is really good for her teeth and gums. These last a few months for our dog who chews it every morning. After a few months the edges get a little rough from all the chewing so I throw it out and replace with a new one. These are very reasonably priced, so I always have a fresh one ready to go. She gets very excited when we get a new one out of the package..
