hey this is my oscar i got it off the net but the lines on its back that i have circled are what my o has is this normal...

To me those appear to be normal...if you look at any fish you will see a faint line similar to the one your O has...its called the lateral line. Basically its purpose of the lateral line is to detect movement or vibrations in the water...its a sensory organ.

That is the lateral line. The fish uses it to feel vibrations in the water.

thanks to both of yous can tell im new to oscars lol

Haha...don't worry about it...everyone has to learn at some point!

yer thats true so how are yours os going

Haha...don't have them yet! Still waiting for my tank to cycle...hopefully it won't be too much longer though!

thats right i forgot about that sorry how long has it been cycling for now

Been 10 days now...haha...still a ways to go but i'm gettin there!

ok then how long are you cycling it for what type of osacr are you getting

Basically cycling until its done...haha...they say it usually takes about 40-60 days to cycle so I have a bit of waiting to do yet!

Either going to get two tiger oscars or a tiger and a red...haven't decided yet.

lateral line that is normal to all oscars....
