TOPIC: Newbie

Newbie 2 years, 4 months ago #71240

Hello everyone. I've been checking out this site from time to time and finally figured I'd join. I've had an aquarium or 2 for about 3 years and last spring I decided to get oscars. I had 2 albinos, that were babies when I got them, and ended up giving them to a friend a month ago when she lost her fish during a power outage. I currently have a tiger oscar that I also purchased last spring. He was a skinny little 1.5" when I got him and now he's a big fat 8" at least. I currently have him in a 55 gal tank with 3 spotted bullhead catfish that are about 4-5" each.

If there's anything else anyone wants to know, feel free to ask. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions myself.

Hallo and welcome to the forums.
I'd love to see some pictures of your fish.
Especially the bullheads, for I also love catfish!
Enjoy the site.

I've got a few pics of them in my photos section on here. One is of the 2 smaller catfish. I'm still trying to get a good pic of the big one, but all 3 are part catfish and part ninja. They don't like to come out unless it's dark and I don't have anything to get pics at night. As soon as I get some good pics, I'll definatly put them on here though.

The catfish are fun to watch. They eat flakes and when I dump them in all 3 go berserk trying to eat as much as they can. Then they run back into the cover and hide. They also get along great with my oscar. All 4 have been together for 2 months now and I've had no fighting or territorial issues.
