My New 55 Gallon

[afireinside]

Despite what I told my dad, only one oscar and one blood parrot, he got us two of each. Well, I guess it is ok, cause he said we will upgrade when we need to and we have a filter for a tank up to 75 gallons. We got 2 Blood Parrots, 1 Tiger Oscar and 1 Albino Tiger Oscar. All of which are quite small, the biggest, the Albino Tiger Oscar is just barely 3 inches long. So, here are some pictures!

The 55 Gallon itself

The non-dyed multi-colored Parrot Cichlid, and yellow Parrot

We only named one of the fish so far, and that is the multi-colored Blood Parrot. We named him Chubby Cheaks, as he has the hugest mouth I have ever seen!

Whoa, Nice tank...Is that a 55gallon tall?

 

[afireinside]

Ya. For some reason, whenever I get something about 10 gallons, I get a tall tank. I just like tall.

The Albino Tiger Oscar is just so amazing

 

[afireinside]

Thanks! I seem to like my little Parrot the most though

My dad actually had that tank in the attic. He had it for 16 years, but hadn't used it since I was 4. All I remember he had in there was Silver Dollars.

Dude you need some plants... real ones.

 

[afireinside]

I heard that Oscars eat live plants. I don't need any, you really can't make me do anything I don't want to.

What kind of filter are you using cause it looks like a marineland penquin bio wheel filter 350?


By the way, awesome looking fish.

Dude, you are completely correct!

Ya, I know they'll need a bigger tank, at least a 125 gallon will be ready for them.
