You've seen some of my Oscar pics, here is a video of them. I originally edited the video to go with different audio but youtube wouldn't let me use it. So there is some random license-free song to go with it now Its an 850litre tank, which is 225 USgallons or 187 UKgallons just to confuse everyone



If you look at 2:55 it seems they enjoy watching V8 Supercar racing (Australian Touring cars) on TV

They are Stunning Hun! They look great! Those are my two favorites in one tank!

Cool vid and your tank looks huge!
I use WindowsMediaPlayer to add any soundtrack i like...

Thanks
I guess you could do that.

The original music was Going Home by Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits.

I guess the tank looks big because its 30inches tall, I can tell you it was damn heavy when we were trying to get it in the house with 3 people.

nice tank 5/5. Hope my small red oscar would turn out like that.

gorgeous fish, I bet they like all that space

That reminds me to write an article about moving big tanks, for there's a lot involved in moving big tanks indeed.
30" tall must be hard on maintenance.
I got a 2,5 foot high tank on a 4 foot stand and maintenance of that baby is not one of my favorite chores, i tell you.

My gravel vac is 2 feet long, and I invested in a little 2-step ladder from a hardware store.

Maintenance is a breeze, I run plastic hose tubing on the end of the gravel vac so the water runs out onto the lawn.

Having said that though I won't be looking forward to when the time comes I have to move it to say, another house.

They seem happy enough, and controlling nitrate levels weekly is easy.
They share the tank with a Pleco who makes a huge mess and is hardly seen out in the open and the 4 Silver Dollars.

I've been thinking about putting my G.Brasiliensis in with them as it's quite big now and maybe the Gold Severum, not sure how much they would affect the bioload of the tank (and even if the Oscars would allow new additions to their tank)

you don't get to choose with plecos...
I've got some that have been hiding for 3 years now.

I think moving homes is every big-fish-keepers nightmare.
Don't get me started.My next upgrade will probably involve moving to a bigger house...

I moved all of my tanks (with the help of a LOT of muscle) in Feb, to this house. LOL. My Husband and I are now looking to buy a house. You know what that means... Tank Moving AGAIN! LOL

I think I will lose some friends this time! LOL

Great looking tank and oscars....man 850 liters with just a few fish they must be the happiest fish around.

Hey aus man.... RESPECT BRO.... That video was stunning.....

Your fish are gorgeous mate. How big are they?
