thanx, for filming and sharing, again.
If it's a red, it's a very special looking one or at least looks very special to me.
When the light hits him in the right way, he's deffo red.
In fact it looks a lot like some wild oscars i saw in Stratton's oscar book.

An odd looking fish, you can be proud.
usually i allready wonder what the fish will look like when they become adults.
In this case I'm even more curious and will be following the transformation closely.

Nice Os. The one on the right with purplish hue looks alot like my Red as a little tike. But the colour changes as they grow, there a few pics of my Oscars floating around in the 'only Oscars' section.

thanks nod i am proud =]
but he was pitch black when i first bought him i will keep yu updted on his colouring and so on and aus he is the same age as my big O i dont know whats going on there...
have yu guys had anything like this ??? same ge diff size they get the same amount of food each so i dont know lol =]

When my 2 were growing up it was a race to outgrow eachother, at first the Red was bigger then the Lutino started to overtake by quite a bit, these days they are about the same. I guess it comes down to genetics aswell as which one is greedier (as all Oscars are greedy )

Plus one of aus-cars fish is one of the most watched photographs on the site.
As it's in the header of the main forum, i see that one many, many times a day.

And Benno, oscars can have growth differences, even in the same environment, and with exactly the same food.

Geez with comments like that your gonna give him/her (I think its a her I had a sneek peek at the wedding tackle) a big head

Well, the internet can make your fish famous indeed.
I just had my Odd couple video pass the 1000 views on YouTube and it made me kinda proud!


I know it's not that much, seeing how some vids get millions of hits, but it's a start!
Over a 1000 people came over to show interest in my fish, and i'm glad i could share my fish on the internet, without having to make coffee for a 1000 people.

hahaha lol
but compliments re llways need for a o ike that =]
