Hello all,
nice site, been looking through your faq's etc. and looks like I'm on the right track.

I have 8 tanks running atm

1/ 4' planted with cherry shrimp, neons, Kuhlis & Peppermint b/n. (had to get the mrs hooked
1/ 3" grow out with my sons mollies & platys
1/ 4' with a 3" Red Oscar, bronze cory, 3 common b/n
1/ 3'x18"x20" 3" red tiger oscar (lonely & agro)
1/ 3'x18"x20" 6" red oscar & 6" bream
1/ 6'x2'x2' 1 pair of red tiger oscars 10" & 8"(laid once since intro), 1 feeder 3" goldfish which never got eaten

1/ 6'x18"x18" 1 pair of albinos (tiger & red) both 9" (laid once since purchase)
1/ 8'x18"x18" 1 pair red tigers 10" & 9"(just gone through the intro process over the last few weeks finally looks like I can leave them be without certain death). 2 goldifsh feeders again never got eaten and have grown, 1 2" redtail shark. yes the Oscars dont sseem to be interested in live food.

I have had oscars lay for me in the past but have never had fry, so earlier this year I decided to get back in the hobby and try to make it happen this time, as you can see I think i'm bordering on addiction / obsession lol. next batch I intend to seperate and manually fan them, what do ya think?

Well nothing else to share atm, but look fwd to reading your stories, I'm not a big poster but will do my best.

cheers for now
Tony

hey there.
welcome to OFL!

That's quite an impressive list of tanks and fish.
Can we see some pics of your fish and setups?

what's in this one?

very cool to see so many big tanks and big fish.
I envy you.
Are all the tanks in a "fishroom" or are they all around the house?

What do you do with the offspring if you get a pair to spawn?
I'd love to have fry some day, but i'm not sure where to bring the young fish, if it's actually several hundreds of them...

Do you have a favorite oscar?
Thanx for posting.
