Just imagine if the online vendors were like HSN with a ez pay plan to spread out the payments... lol. Dont need no money just put it on ez pay. :p
 
Was mentioned early on about the Astronotus crassipinnis ‘Araguia’ that Rapps has...
Saw he posted Adult pics

I like the banding/pattern but the washed out look without any color really makes them look bland. Not very exciting to me.
 
I would assume they are a bit stressed, also probably not the best diet. So I would assume they would color up some after they settle down. I could be wrong tho.

I wouldnt use those pics as indicators they just look stressed. If I remember correctly his orbics pics weren't anything to wrote home home about either

No pics update.... lol

Will give you the blurry pics update.These guys are just so active that it is hard to get them to sit still for a pic. Every pic Ive got now is just a blur without enough clarity that I just dont feel they are worth posting. But I know you guys want something to see as to progress.

Oscar #3

Oscar #1

The Gold Skirt Tetras have helped the Oscars open up and become a lot me lively. Not really sure if its helped with the aggression too much since Oscar #2 has multiple tears in the fins and the other two have been caught going at him. But even with that it has been eating well and putting on size. Oscar #1 and #3 are both bold, and despite #1 being bigger/biggest, Oscar #3 has been holding its own quite Well. Might get a fin tear here and there but it manages to evade most nips and really looks good.
