Howdy!! Again, my name is James and pictured is my fiancee', Debbie. I myself have had over 200 different "pets" in my lifetime, from a "sugar-glider" to a one foot tall "Jerboa" (BIG Gerbil)!! I've had various Oscars in my life, but NEVER a breeding pair!! NOW, it appears as if my oscars are trying to "go through the motions" and prepare for some offspring!! I can't wait to be a grandpa once again!! I recently had "Dwarf Syberian Hamsters" that I was breeding, but my landlord said I had to stop. Go figure!! It was nice, because the pet stores in my area gave me $4.00 per head in "store credit" for each baby hamster!! I know, it paid for nearly ALL of my pet supplies!! I was also breeding gerbils and taking the offspring to a local "Raptor Refuge/Sanctuary" for their food. As of today, I have 2 - cats (Co-Co & Mia), 1 - rat (Missy, her husband Murphy, just passed-away the other day), 2 - Oscars (Ollie & Olivia), 1 - plecostimus (Peter), 2 - convict chiclids (Charlie & Clyde), 1 - bullhead catfish (Buddy), 1 - corydoris catfish (Cory, ofcourse), 2 - fire bellied newts (Newton & Nicky), 1 - crayfish (Crabby), 2 - betas (Ruby & Blue), and a ton of feeder/breeding guppies (no names). I'm sooooo glad that I found this website!! I'll chat more laters!! James
