I was going through some old videos and i found a vid of the first day i got him.
It seems like so long ago.
He's chasing the SD's around like he still does.
The SD's were babies i got 3 weeks before my Oscar.
The algae eater you see is bigger then my O, but we know what happened to him, after my O got a little bigger.
You also see the green sunfish, which agression issues brought me to OFL in the first place.
thought i'd share.



This footage was from 26-09-2008 and all my fish are so tiny!
but I'm glad i reserved the tankspace they needed, cause they''re sure using up all the space now.

nice noddy.
its great you have vid of them from the begining to compare their growth against.

nice footage Noddy... i thought i am the only one who is sentimental here...
i do have old footage too...

can you post current footage side by side with the old one????

here's some footage of today.



quite a difference!

wow.... great footage .... love the SD in group...

lol, we don't mind correcting you,Paul, makes us feel smart.
Actually you see the Gar taking a mouthfull of air.
He does that so many times a day.

this is some more old stuff, this is at the LFS, a week before i bought my O.


i still remember coming home from the LFS and showing this video.
I had allready fallen in love with him and told my wife that i really wanted to get the O.
She asked me how big it would get, and I answerded "that depends on how much you feed him".
very diplomatic answer, and i got my fish in the end.

now i wouldnt go so far as to call you a bitch LOL

Awesome videos Noddy! Quite the before and after shots there! haha!

Thanx, i was amazed by the growth too.
But...they're not full grown yet!lol

how awesome - gorgeous tank and fish! in the first video, with the "little O" - what is that stand thing you have zuchinni on? do the fish like it? what a great idea!
