im going to upload some pics now. he is still in the bag and kinda mad from the trip. but i will get much better pics as soon as hes out swimming around.
 
here are some quick pics. i dont know much about these guys as far as the wild part goes. is there any more specific title for this guy besides "wild caught"

Nice. It looks a little stressed right now. I would think it would color up more as it settles. If I was going to get an Oscar, I would definately go the same route. Nice pick up.

def stress cuz we just got back from an hour long very bumpy car ride. construction the whole way. he doesn't know wtf is goin on lol. but in the tank at the store he was beautiful. so once he settles in and i can take him out of the bag i will get much better shots. there was 10 to choose from and he was the best looking one in my opinion. they had quite a few darker, mostly black ones. i wish i could have bought them all.

Nice Oscar, I really want a wild. Black and white for me though however
they had a few black and white ones but i fell in love with this guy. like i said if i had the space i would have bought them all. i love oscars. but i keep over 30 species of fish and i have too many smaller fish. so a couple oscars in each tank isnt the best idea haha
 
Nice looking O good luck.
