Yep I think I'm looking at a port acara to be honest. That pic was after 5 mins of being in it's new tank. After some time however it seems to have the yellow in it's dorsal and tail fins plus the very yellow pectorals. I have seen the fish darken to reveal a line that runs from behind it's eye...

After having a look at acara shapes its either Port Cichlid/Black acara (Cichlasoma Portalagrense) or the Royal Acara (Aequidens Diadema)

Thanks, any help to narrow the type down would be great. The reason one is in QT and this one went into the main tank is that this one was beating 10 bells of crap out of the one in QT so have seperated the poorly one so it can get better till it can go with its mate. Will have a look at the...

Hi guys Just picked up this fish and its mate, this one has gone into my 5 footer and its mate has been put into QT as its been beat up quite badly in the LFS tanks. Bargain at 7.50 (good old english POUNDS) for both. Anyway, i have no clue what this fish is and neither does my father, any...

Well seems this place has changed, used to be people would offer ideas and such without any sarcasm or malice. Well thanks everyone for their time I guess I shall seek advice from other Oscar keepers :)

Oh and the tank is 18 deep so far big enough for some adult oscars :)

Yea I can Understand what your saying guys totally but this is what I have :) What I meant about siblings is that I thought If they were from the same brood that they would be the same sex. Ah well :) Can anyone suggest some bottom dwellers for tank mates at least? Maybe syno cats?

Right guys. I am purchasing this beauty of a tank http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/popup_lg.php?mypic=209362.jpg Its going to be home to my only 2 fish at the moment a pair of red tiger oscars. They are from the same brood so i dont think that theyll ever mate but im just wondering...

Woke up this morning for the morning feed and drop the prima in, the non feeding blind guy could suddenly see and was eating like a champ. Stringy white poo however so i think an internal bacteria treatment is required. Would you guys agree? these are baby oscars and want to start them off right

Hey Wilder. Last week i got shut of my discus and bought the fish i truely love, 2 2" baby oscars. I lowered the temperature in my discus tank to 27 deg c and they have been in the tank 3 days so far. Both have been feeding VERY well on prima (buying doromin next week) up until last nights...

Nope, i kept them around 7 or so years ago while i was younger, grew them from 6" to around 10" before i lost one of them to something unknown. Bought another at around 13" to keep the other company but they fell out so had to rehome them. Then with uni and whatnot havent had chance but now im...

Time to change from prima to doromin i think, they are used to feeding from the surface

From earlier on looking a bit sheepish in the bag, will take some more tomorrow, theyve already fed today and taken a look at my corys lol yes, i drive a ford, other models are available ;P

Id be hung drawn and quartered lol :D

Hello All. I would like to thank everyone for their ideas. Had a rather long discussion with the misses about the fish tanks we currently have and have decided that we're going to get rid in the coming year because...... Gonna invest in a 6x2x2 :D Bought 2 2" oscars this morning and will be...
