Hello everyone. My name is Russ. I am an experienced fish keeper who has been away from this for a while and decided to get back into Oscars last Thanksgiving. I've been a guest on your site many times since then and have been very impressed with the experience and advice given here. Most of my experience is with Cichlids with Oscars being, by far my favorites. It's great to have Oscars again!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'll get some pictures over the weekend. Right now I have one red oscar and one albino oscar. The red, named "Amber" is about 6-7 inches and is in a 120 gallon tank. The albino, "Crystal" (4-5 in) is a new addition that I picked up 5 days ago. She is in a temporary tank and is going into an 80 gallon on Sunday. The intent was of course to put them together but for some reason Amber won't accept a "roommate". "She" killed the first oscar (a tiger) that I had with her about a month ago and attacked Crystal the instant I let her into the tank. In all the years I had previously raised Oscars I never had one this agressive. Guess I'll figure out other potential tankmates after I get the 80 finished.

sounds like quite some temperament in that oscar.
My first Oscar is the exact opposite and her gentle nature made room for adding a tankmate after she was 1,5 years allready.
different fish, different behaviour...

Yeah...she has some attitude.....but she's pretty. (pic's coming) Crystal sems to be the opposite so far.....a little timid actually.....no match for Amber. I had no plans to get a breeding pair so two tanks is fine with me.
