Finally im done with moving, and have just got my internet set up! My pond is now stocked with a 12" lutino red oscar, a 13" red tiger oscar, a 9" red oscar, 2 convicts, 2 plecos, a pictus catfish, and an albino pictus catfish. I will post pictures as soon as I find my camera.

Note: I hardly ever see all the fish as they hide behind all the rocks, except from the oscars of course who are way to huge to hide.

Ok guys I know this is what you have all been waiting for... All the other fish are hiding behind the rocks unfortunately. When they all get bigger they wont be able to hide.

the water temp dropped to like 60-65 the other day when it was at its coldest and im not sure if bala sharks can take that temperature.

Just so you can see a size reference
http/upload2.postimage.org/aquariums/osc...9/aquarium.html
The Albino Red is about 11"-12", the Red Tiger is about 13"-14", and the Red is about 8"-9".

Wow this is the collest idea. If i were making a tropical pond it would have probably also have been 4 oscars. I can imagine the personality they show as they react to the world around them. Angels would have also been pretty .... not as fun though... and probably not withstand what a oscar can. I love how the albino oscar just posps out. Is there gonna be any problem with him and the sun? idk cause they don't have the melonin to help block the sun. But the water probably dilutes it.

oh thats a pity they would have been a superb additon
