my morning routine is eating my breakfast in front of the fish tank. As I was sitting there, one of my Oscars crapped 8 huge piles of poo. Each one was the size of 3-4 peas. I've never seen so much poo at once - "he" (I have no idea if it's male or female) kept crapping and crapping - taking dumps all over the tank. Now I REALLY believe they are messy fish - . Needless to say, I got out the gravel vacuum and sucked the crap out - LOL.

haha bet that put u off yr breaky!

LMAO!!! Well he said good morning didn't he!

OMG....... What do you feed ur boy?

I am getting guppies now LMAO

Do you have a cat or some other bottem feeder

I have three clown loaches, but they don't eat poo

I seriously almost took a photo, but then I thought that would be sick - taking a picture of piles of Oscar poo -

Jamie - to answer your question - the fish get a variety of pellets, and occasional worm balls

Yeah I know what you mean on this Oscar poop. My Jack Dempsey is 5 times bigger than my oscar and eats about the same amount, but no where near poops as much as my Oscar. Oscar are just not very effiecent with processing their foods, I guess. Its like they eat just to eat, and poop anything they can't process fast enough. crazy wierd. ....but gotta love em.
