hey guys, i checked on the little guy i gave away recently and i just had to share his latest little trick LOL...

i had my face right agaisnt the glass pretty much looking at him, making sure they were looking after him and all of a sudden he went psycho, swimming as fast as he could against they glass with his mouth open, trying to scare me away.... it was absoulutly hiliarious and i had to keep doing it.... till he got sick of it.

my other O's have never done this and i have been trying to make them do it but with now luck... maybe mine are to old and lazy... LOL

if you open your mouth and shake your head (like the O's do) really close to glass, then they have a little episode. maybe

You will have to give us a laugh and send this video of you doing it. I would love to see you opening your mouth and shaking your head, brighten my day up

but before you do videoing your self with wide open mouth
in the camera, make sure nobody among member of your family
is seeing you, otherwise, you will end up in a psychopath
or mental hospital

Hi,

That would be quite a sight! Oscar are pretty funny fish. Years ago, I had a tiger oscar sharing a tank with a fairly large plec. The oscar seemed to take enjoyment in picking up gravel in his mouth and trying to drop it on the plec!

LOL, I love the stories... Bianca, you have to get a video of that!

glad im not the only crazy Aussie here then.
i tend to do the same with my O
i get as close to the glass as i can and give him the baby talk
"who's my baby, are you my baby? etc"
and open and close my mouth mimicking his actions.
he comes face to face with me as if he wants to lock lips with me
it is quite a sight and i get a kick out of the bonding with him lol
