hello everyone.. my name is david and i live in vancouver b.c canada, and i am fairly new to oscars. growing up in edmonton, alberta seeing amazing fish like this was rare. so after i moved out here i got into this fun and rewarding hobbie, so one day i was in my local pet shop ( pet boutique) i saw these amazing little guys, after finding out that they where fresh water there was no stopping me.. i bought two on the spot both tigers one of which was albino she is sick at the moment desription in emergency section. i thought they where one of the most beautiful fresh water species ever. so now i´m hooked and trying to learn as much as i can so we can have a long healthy relationship. p.s i look forward to learning and chating with all of you so thanks for letting me be a part of this caring bunch of fellow fish lovers...

welcome

hi david welcome.im quiet new to this site as well as i have only recently required on oscar.you want to read my posting on how to train to touch an oscar.the replies i recieved we fantastic.lots of mixed reactions so you take the info you need and apply to your oscars.its in the oscar forum.my oscar went from being timid to really friendly within the week.my advice is every time you pass their tank stop n look in.also i gently place my hand on the glass n now he will follow my finger.i breed mollies n guppys n they also swim madley around my hand when i touch the glass or put my hand in the tank yet i dont try to touch the mollies n guppies but am just starting to have contact with my oscar.so good luck with it p.s i havent been bitten by him yet n i say yet sheepishly im sure it will probably happen
