So I still have Octavian, because as you all know Nigel died mysteriously. I waited for a while to get a replacement, and tested my water finally, and it was all fine. I also got my buddies on a new diet of regular Cichlid Staple, baby pellets. And they absolutely love those. and are growing much faster now. I still give them flake food though, so that it doesn't go to waste.

Anyway, Octavian has doubled in size almost. and his new buddy (Lord) Voldemort (yes i know nerdy, haha) is quite big as well. The only way I can tell them apart is that Voldemort is a lighter color than Octavian is. Anyway. On with the new pictures.

Tell me what you think!

Won't be long and they will be gobbling up my little goldfish Scrotum.

nice selection you have there. cross your fingers
they turn out to be male - female combination. in
some cases, oscars tolerate gold fish in their tanks.
if you will take a closer look, the other one had a
big red stripe mark on the left gill cover, that could
be an identification mark between them.
congrats.

That would be pretty sweet if I had male-female. I would obviously have to invest more money into my fish of course. Get a way way bigger tank if they started breeding, which would most likely happen. ha.

Yeah I noticed that as well. The lighter color though is easiest for me.

Really. So there's a chance you think my goldfish might live a long time huh? That would be pretty cool.

in some cases , yes.
in my tank, i have 2 x 14-15 inches oscar and
2 x 18-19 inches pangasius but they never touched
my lone angel fish.

Well that's cool.

I just hope that if they do eat him, that I get to see it, ha. Instead of me just waking up or coming home one day and being like "hey where scrotum?"

great looking pair of fish best of luck with them
