My Oscar

Sharing my Oscar and his progression.

More recent pic.

Very Cute!

I absolutley love this. Great progression shots! I wish I would have done this with my Oscar. But when I got her I didn't have a camera at all.

Very Nice!

Yeah very nice pics, your O looks healthy and happy

he has turned in to such a lovely big boy!! good one!

Thanks!

I'm starting plans for a 260gal for him and other possible tankmates. What tankmates do you guys suggest?

very cool to see your O's progression.

he is a handsome looking fish.


i see you used to have a tiger O also. do you still have it?

The lutino out grew the tiger probably because he's more aggressive during feeding time and had to move the tiger to a grow-out tank so he can catch up. Unfortunately there was a powerhead accident on the grow-out tank and the tiger got sucked and stuck.

I also tried to introduce a Red Oscar 3/4 of his size. That oscar was so timid and wouldn't defend himself or at least get out of his way. I've tried moving/removing decors and sand so that both oscars would start off on a newly "reset" tank. After I've placed them back in the tank they seem not to mind each other so I went out. When I came back home I found the Red Oscar dead.

The lutino was staring at me like a seasoned Mafia hitman. He was like saying, "Introducing a new fish huh? I don't think so."

Hence the name "The Boss".

that's interesting because in my experience the lutinos /albinos/ ruby reds are usually the least aggressive, and usually grow the slowest and even bullied. .... i look forward to seeing that big boy in action... maybe even a vid.
