lol, This is what happens when ppl are allowed to play God.

Jelly Bean? That is just a fancy name for what it is. They are trying to sell that name. Its just a Red Parrot.

I have a little advice, just a little to tell ya. Don't go back to him. Find someone else to buy from.

There are many idiots like that. If you don't want them take them back. If the a**hole guys says no, Threaten to bring BBB into this for poor business practices. Convicts are good for so many reasons. I just brought a black one today as a bluffer and so far the activity in my tank is great...

I think albinos are only found in Capivity. I''m not sure but I think there aren't any albinos in the wild. I think most oscars in the wild are tigers, reds, black/whites, veiltails (not sure either)

Does anyone own this fish? What is like observing these fish. How are they?

Well what I have isn't big at all the most is about 5 inches. I updated my tank from the last photos I posted it is more open water with alot of cliffs and caves. So I have now: Peacock Bass Pacu Pike Salmon & Blue Channel Catfish. I know a big blue channel, salmon catfish, peacock bass will...

Well either way I never keep big fish for long. I sell them to my local pet store owned by a friend. I get payed even get other fish for what I rasie, but enough about that back on subject.

What fish do you recommend on sparking other fishes apetite. I post this in here coz I know ciclids are on the list. As I have a pacu, Pike, Peacock Bass, Blue Channel, & salmon catfish. I was think of some carnvious fish that don't grow very big but will eat like a mo fo.

These kinds of oscars won't exist in the wild for these kinds of reasons. 1. They wouldn't survive in the wild coz there colors would aleret other big hungry animals with a big "Hey I'm open come and eat me "sign written all over them. Read about darwin's theory of natural evolution. Its...

Thanks it has been changed to a more rocky setting this way it offers more hiding spots and more more to stalk xD

Which Catfish? xD! And lol on the camera, I'm still learning how to use that one I got for christmas. New members: Peacock Bass Pike (not sure which version)

well you can scratch off the oscar. I have a 55 on standby when these guys reach pass 9 inches.

lol, I made a mistake including Jacks, its just the yellow oscars my fault xD!

Its all fake my friend. There is no natural living Yellow Oscar or blueberry jack living today. These are dye colored originals like parrots. These farmers bred these kinds of fish to make more money coz of the color and anyone who is uneducated about these things would buy them. So the seller...

well I'm not going to buy one anyway coz of the price tag, plus I was wondering. That is why I hardly see them that much. I wish I can post my notes in petland or other stores to help educate ppl better on the choices they make when buying fish. Alot of these stores out to make money and really...

I 'm trying to find out if these kinds of oscars are naturally blue or just dye colored reds.

Well its all about the competition my friend! You will have this when you have alot of fish looking to get the most out of each meal. This is good to provoke feeding from fish that don't eat that much or so some reason won't eat at all. I might start doign that when I get more fish. I might...

lol! It is a Pacu name JuJu :drool: I have a Blue Channel Catfish, and the brownish catfish is a Salmon Catfish. I have plenty of time before I have to upgrade. I have a 55 on standby at my brother's house. I always raise baby fish and grow them up and move them and sometimes sell them to pet...

You can mix them, but like my first poster says it is not recommended for a few reasons. 1. Both types have different water perferences. African Ciclids like hard Alkraine( however it is spelled) waters (meaning they like salt and plenty of it). New World Ciclids like oscars, pikes, and such...

Well coz those kinds of catfish aren't what you call trash compactors. They like live food and like uhm good. I discovered that some catfishes like lima, Tiger shovelnoses and other catfishes of that nature are meat eaters that perfer live foods. You can still feed them pellets and what not, but...

I think my favorite pike is the jewel. Coz that is the only species of pike I ever owned xD! :shifty:

THE Almighty Wolf Fish is the best choice!

well pick out cats that aren't strictly carnovirous like a pleco, corys, whiptails and such.

Did you separte the affected ones from the healthy ones yet? That is the most important thing to do before you start treatment.

It is best to keep those mo fos in separte tank unless you are in some sort of fish bloodsport. They will rip each other apart until one can own the whole tank. They aren't as agressive at 3 inches but man when they hit 6 inches and over you will have hell in a glass tomb.

Well here is what I own so far. The pics are super coz of the flash, I will make better ones later

I believe you Gage xD! I had to deal with them in the past they are agressive even for no reason. I guess either ppl are going by what the data has shown and never own any or got lucky with FMs xD

*Takes words right out month* That is what I'm saying. There are exceptions to the general population of FM's there and hundreds that are agressive. i read earlier that they are territoral agressive.

What I meant to say was FM's don't sale that well at petland and not even knife fish do either. Alot of rare and beauiful fish are disappearing from the stores coz ppl don't buy enough of them to be considered hot salers. I haven't seen a FM being sold in petland in months. I miss all the rare...

Man when I got my first FM I was shocked at how agressive it was. It was battling other fish to protect a tree trunk in the tank. It was also being annoying to other fish that weren't even near the trunk. Besides they are to small for me, and petland hardly if ever sales them anymore coz they...

They might, but most likely no. Besides it will take years before they reach their full potential.

Pretty much. You don't have to have salt in the water if you don't want too. As long as the water like you said is clean. For the angel situation you can mix them with those guys since all of them as community. Beware angels grow and remember they are ciclids, they hunt small fish like neons and...

Coz of their temperant. Your profile are you talking about.

Dude word of advice, don't buy them unless you have other badass fish that can stick up for themelves. They are very territorial, has the mindset of a red devil, but overall pretty.

Fms are ok for 55 gallon. They don't grow as big as some of the other family names, but they sure do have an temper like most ciclids. They aren't my favorite coz they remain me of red devils.

Anyone own a blue channel over a foot long? I have one that is about 4 inches long hoping I successfully raise my first giant catfish over a foot long.

I agree. You pretty much hit the limit of the number of fish that can be added to a 55. Nice list though.

Thanks good to be here.

hey my name is steve I have been dealing with fish since I was 10 and now I'm 21. I own the following: Pacu Oscar (Black/White) Salmon Catfish Blue Channel Catfish All of them are under 5 Inches. I house them in a 20 gallon. Once I move out of my mom's crib I will be getting my brother's 55...
