How Do I Make My Oscar Fish Aggressive???

i saw an oscar in a pet shop one day and when the guy at the store put the net in the water the oscar started biting the net and ramming into it, that particular oscar was full grown, my oscars are medium sized i was wondering if someone can tell me what 2 do 2 make them really mean and aggressive???
Answers:
Feed live prey food (smaller fish, pinkie for larger oscars, worms, insects) and not have any other aggressive fish in the tank that would challange it. Limit the feeding so that its hungry but don't starve it or you will stop its growth. You might not see the aggressiveness because there are also very smart fish and they know who their owners are. Once full grown and stranger that might come into its space with a finger, net, other fish the oscar will protect its space.

Note: feeding live prey like fish, worms, and some other items run you the risk of bugs that can infect your oscar.
Why on earth would you want to make your fish aggressive on purpose?
hes already aggressive i had an oscar for like 3 %261/2 years when i first got him he was kinda mellow then when he got bigger and older he got really aggressive and i had him in my 75 gallon aquarium alone and when i would add more fish he would pick on them sometimes i would feed him gold fish minows feeder fish but thats not really healthy for him so i stuck with large pellets
poke him with a stick?? assuming it would make you agressive if you were poked repeatdly maybe try it on the fish??? WHY THE F*** do you wanna do that to a fish??? i mean WTF!!!
Oscars are by nature aggressive. After he's been in the tank for a while,a week or 2,introduce a new fish. He will attack it:,take it out so as not to let it get hurt.When he's big,like 8 inches ,for example,he'll be slow but mean,especially when hungry or territory is being invaded.
are you trying to enter them in a wrestling competition? anyway why do you want to ' MAKE' them aggressive?? its in their instindt to be aggressive.
Its adviseable to keep your Oscar happy and healthy rather than thinking of making it aggressive !

If you are really seeking something which will be aggressive without any apparent reason..go for a Flowerhorn.
Keep putting your face in front of the tank. Sooner or later they'll attack you and anyone the comes into the room.

You must be very immature (like age 10 to 15) to want to make such an intelligent fish aggressive. it already is.
Are you thinking it can be trained to protect your house while you are gone?
