Just picked up my two 1.5" baby Tiger Oscars and three Pictus Catfish a little bit ago!!! Have them acclimating in my tank right now so I will post pictures in a little while so you can see my new fishy kids! haha! Finally have them after waiting forever (or at least it felt like forever!)

Thanks again to everyone here that helped me get my tank setup properly and helped me stay patient...at least as patient as possible! haha! I appreciate all the help!

yahoo! i'm so glad I was online when you posted so I can be the first to congratulate you!

Haha...thank you! I'm so excited right now...sick of looking at feeder goldfish! haha!

Can't wait to get pics up soon!

cool! pics pics pics!!!!!!

and have you thought of names? or maybe you need to watch them over the next days to see if an interesting traits emerge:)

Haha...hey I want pics up just as bad as you wanna see them!

And I think I have most of the names picked out...i'll post them with the pics...and just remember I grew up a child of the 80's when you see the names! haha!

Skeletor and He-Man???? :-O LOL


Overlord of EEEEEEEEEEVIL!


perhaps even Panthor! or Evil-Lin if its a girl! haha

Haha! Damn you're good...ok so one of the Pictus will be named Skeletor!

Nice guess Win! 4 more to go!

Maybe that could be a new thread Oscar naming contest or name the Oscar.
I named after Tigger in Winnie the Pooh,really macho huh.

Haha...I have a cat I named Tigger so its ok!

Oh, and how long is it best to leave the tanks lights offf for once they are in there? I heard it reduces stress and makes it easier for them to acclimate to the new tank.

I don't know, as I didn't leave the light off. I Guess I was just to excited to have him.But if you must the rrest of the day would probably work.
