I am partial to Rivulatus. This little male(approx 4-5") is one I bred from two unrelated parents. Dad was white seamed, mom was orange seamed. Hoping to breed him with a nice female in the future. But if I had to pick one and only one, based on beauty, it would be a FEMALE FESTAE in spawning...

I agree with replies above. You disturbed the equilibrium you had going with the two original Oscars. I'd be willing to bet that (as @DonnyB mentioned above) you most likely had two females, and the new addition is a male, or vice versa? If everything was fine, then a new fish is introduced and...

sounds like you need to introduce some more smaller cichlids to spread the aggression. Usually this calms things down. Oscars may or may not help, but will definitely outgrow a 79 gallon tank in short time.

Hello YouChoob!!!!

FWIW......i have kept danios in with my oscar, they are lightning quick but no guarantee they wont slip up and become lunch. I have tried keeping my texas with him, and the texas was kicking his ass kinda... i have also tried young green terror fry than can stay hidden, but it seems to stress my...

@tiger15, @notho2000 Both of you guys were spot on.

Sorry......I have to poke a hole in the "pointy fins method".......... It depends on your idea of pointy. My adult female has very clearly pointed fins. Males tend to develop a "trailer" on their pointed fins though. I am confident The OP's fish is a female. I usually go by the "spangling" in...

Here is a few more recent pics. He is about 4 inches now and its probably been over a year now, not sure....

Well I think I can for sure say He is 100% male. The coolest part I think is his seam turned out orange+white with a pretty clear line where it changes color. Im super excited to have bred this guy myself and he will stay here for the long haul. I usually dont name my fish but I may just start...

The real reason I wanted to update was to spotlight one of the fry which I think is a unique fish. @MrsE88 we talked about how my male had white seams, and female had gold seams, and whether i would wind up with any whites. I did wind up with a couple white seams but after I already gave them...

Man its been awhile since I gave an update. This may turn into a long post. Ill start with Dad, hes doing okay but hasnt grown much. Him and mom broke up (she seemed to reject him after a few spawns). Mom is doing fine in her own 40 gal luxury pad, which is next to a 75 growout tank so she...

only surefire way to 100% tell is by observing reproductive parts. But usually by this size it is showing sometimes. females have an egg tube that is blunt, males have a tiny little sharp looking spike

females tend to stay darker, males show that shimmery silver color a lot more prominent. Scale centers are more visible. There will be more patterns within the finnage as well. I have a juvenile female at home that stays almost black.

lack of bearding on bottom jaw and lighter coloration get a MALE vote from me. I have had a few batches of fry of the last couple years so I can kinda start to tell earlier between male/female (but this is just IME) Nothing spectacular in the coloration of this guy, but changing the colors in...

heres dad, hes putting on some size. Picked him up about a year ago. Last pic was from the ad where i found him a year ago or so

Been a few months since i updated, here is the two best fry I kept for myself. I kept three total, but only two look good, thinking male and female. Female is last pic

also im pretty sure that fry i thought was male is a male, hes looking pretty good but just so skittish

nice pics. I think my female finally had enough of my male so I split them up. Put her back in with him for the time being, they lip locked for a few hours and now shes done with him again. I need to figure out a new solution.

looks really good dude

whoops guess im just average
