It is also a really good way of getting to know people with similar fish - therefore an excellent way of getting help and advice when needed.Its just an Oscar orientated thread, for Oscar lovers, for those wanting to know more about Oscars and for us Oscar clubbers to enjoy pictures of other members Oscars and occassionally *cough* go off topics without getting shouted at
My lfs has an oscar for sale its about 4 inches for £8.99, is that cheap, average expensive. Its an albino with only a few orange spots [they usually have quite a few orange spots?]
My guppies could rip your full grown oscars apart xD :HAHA:
i dont doubt it for a second John that one in your sig looks very capable lol
yeah that price is about average,certainly not too expensive, its when you go to smaller shops that the prices get silly, my LFS in Dundee had 2 that were fully grown and he wanted £99 for them.. one died after a yr as they were so old anyway, but no one wants to pay that for "run of the mill"oscars, then again he had a stunning albino pair for £150 and i would have had them, but i didnt have room and when i did go back they had sold
on the other hand my Bo was £15.. but i would have paid £50 for him- just a case of cheap as the guy needed the space backand he wasnt exactly in good shape but he didnt know that
a wild caught oscar would set u back a fair few quid, stunning fish,usually a lot bigger and greener in colour,and a lot more aggressive too
i think your slowly being converted arnt you ??
( between me and you john, i have a tank full of beautiful guppie fry- not show class of course, but they all mean as much to me as my oscar does- but sssh its a secret )
They probably feed your monster oscars
I'm not being converted I'm only 12 lol... I'm still getting a rio 125 set up in my room before I can even think about oscar tanks... they're quite big [compared to my tanks anyway]
Also, if albinos should have no pigment and pink eyes, why do albino oscars have orange spots...?
So there are 3 types of oscar?;
tiger - wild?
normal
albino
