Hey all,

New to the community though this is my second Oscar . Unfortunately, we lost the first Oscar during Hurricane Sandy. On another-note , I picked this on up about a week ago and let me tell you, its by far, my favorite already(out of the other fish in the tank currently) . This is one greedy fish as well Swallowing up the feeder fish like their mozzarella sticks . Looking forward to the community forums here.

wow... that is one good looking red.... what happen to the scrape on the head?
swallowing feeders like mozarella... not good unless you breed them yourself....
feeders has less nutrients value and could be disease carrier...thus, not worth the excitement...
better train him/her with good formulated fishfood for the right nutrients of the fish...

welcome to the community!

He was excited (jumpy, erratic) once I introduced him to the tank. Might have been a scrape along side one of the ornaments. It seems like it has started to heal up nicely but that could just be my positive judgement. Time will tell! BTW , thanks for the insight on food choice, definitely stopped me from making a bad decision today in regards to buying more .

looking forward that your oscar will develop redness like this:

wow awesome looking color on that fish
