That oscar looks pitiful.I hope you were able to help him.
So F0 is wild, F1 is first generation, F2 is second etc, etc
The F number is just a way of telling how many generations from wild caught a fish is. It doesn't mean the fish is a lower grade or that the quality of the fish is poor. You can have an F3 or F4 fish that is of good quality, if the fish has been properly cared for and has been contentiously breed from good lineage.

Gotcha. Thanks for the tidbit of info there. I had always wondered what that was all about.
all of the above. I have never seen a true festae where the tail spot goes below the lateral line. The spot is never more then half of the base of the tail and your fish basically has all the correct markings for a mayan
Thanks for your input. I pointed out the same things to my fiancé but she wanted to post anyways for an educated outside opinion. Nobody we know keeps fish, and we have been more or less shunned for it.
I don't get it. They're the weird ones...
Shunned for keeping fish?
I get it I guess
sometimes when I'm talking to people and they ask about my fish, I see their eyes look off in another direction and I can tell they have no clue what I'm talking about. So most of the time when people say, how's the fish, I just say "fine "

Pretty much. You would think with us living out in the sticks people would be a little more interested because fishing is a huge thing where I live. That's not the case though. Most people just want to eat our fish..or terrorize them because they think it's funny.
Hopefully he's better or at least healing now. This oicture really displays the resiliency of Oscars, even at a very juvenile size. It takes a lot to kill them most times.
I think the consensus is Mayan, which I'm totally fine with. He's a cool little fish.
Thanks for the kind words on Lemon! I'll do an Oscar video shortly. He's just 1 of 4 that we have. My fiance has a soft spot for the goofy/clumsy doofuses. She hand feeds them, pets them, cradles them in her hand and they love it. They just see me as a source of food.
