The joy of Oscar keeping, things will only get worse Remz
After the problems you had when you first got him though, its lovely to see him healthy and happy
Oh i know...
... I'm anxiously awaiting the part where he turns into a big lazy bum
I'm really happy that I was able to nurse him back to health... or am i? lol
hehe and hes still a sweet innocent babie, just wait
is that a red/midas?
Yeah, I was very humbled a couple weeks ago with I saw some 12" + oscars at a lfs. What they were doing there I don't know, but I estimated one of them at 14" using my arm
. Unfortunately, 2 out of 4 had HITH and they weren't being kept in a tank larger than 75ish gallons.
The other fish is a "blood parrot"... as labeled at petsmart. I was skeptical, as he is certainly not the same as "blood red parrots". I ran some searches on google images and came across a couple photos being consistent with "blood parrot". Petsmart quite consistently has "Blood Parrots" with a mix of black, grey, and some orange-ish coloring lately. I figured he was some sort of severum hybrid.... i have no idea. My gf is the only reason he has a home with me
. she said if I got an oscar, this had to be his companion. after their isolated treatment (from a pleco that brought disease into the tank), they lip locked and the oscar soon became king of the tank. couldn't risk keeping him in there, so he had to be moved.
Plz enlighten me if you have any ideas of what he might be
. I can provide some recent pics too.
I've really tried my utmost to get them to breed, feeding them expensive foods and regular water changes and delaying the handover (to Tony) and what is the thanks I get..... They go and damnwill breed in his tank (3 days after handing them over) pics below!!....
I can't believe it finally happened after you gave them up
. Wow.... At least you made it happen though.
As far as my knowledge with oscar breeding, those eggs are not fertilized.
I don't know.....
