I've always been waiting for updates from this guy on youtube about his Oscars. check out these videos, best oscars I've seen so far. He started with 3 & got a pair out of them.

Am I missing something? Yes, I saw signs of Oscars looking like they may be preparing to breed, but I didn't see any actual egg laying. The quality of the second video is very good, that's the first time I've seen youtube in HD, I'm also using an HD monitor. I wasn't familiar with some of those fish, but if they get a much bigger, he's gonna be overstocked

oh yeah...i dont think he's had luck breeding these guys. he said he saw eggs ( not in the above video) but no fry.

Lovely Oscars and other fish. Is that catfish at the start a Synodontis Catfish?

Yes, looks like a Syndontis catfish, looks like he's also got a Bircher as well, that will get a lot bigger

Nice tank but definitely overstocked. Don't know how he keeps the sand so clean mine gets bombarded need to clean it nearly everday to keep it looking like that.

I was wondering that about the sand. Even when you've spent 10 mins hoovering it, packed up and go back to it you find the fish have kindly brought out hidden debris and scattered it everywhere!

Yh i give up lol never get it all up. Can't use the hoover because sand ends up everywhere and if u put it an inch above Oscar crap nothing happens. So i use the net (pooper scooper)and have the sand at a decent angle so all the mess comes to the front of the tank. (Even all these thoughtfull tatics still dont do that much)

This is one reason why I prefer sand over gravel. Your gravel is often a lot filthier than you think, whereas you know exactly where you stand with sand

There is also a convict, blue acara, 2 keyholes and a jurapari in there

why haven't the O's eaten the smaller fish???
