Hi from sunny Devon
I may not always be right, but I am always the boss
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

hi all and thanks for the welcome.
i have been looking after tropical fish for about 10 years now but this is my first time having some oscars, i know there only small at the moment but they are such great fish to have and cant wait untill they reach the 6" mark, i am allready feeding my oscars from my hand and they know who there owner is.
