Great looking Oscars...love the wild coloration, especially the cream colored stripes. Reminds me of the old school oscars I used to keep way back

My female ended up killing the male months back while I was gone and I rehomed the female to a local hobbyist. They are amazing fish. I see that Rapps has them in stock again. I''ve scaled back on the amount of tanks I have set up currently and am down to 3 up and running. If I get any more oscars in the future I really want Bahia Reds and will probably keep individuals in their own tanks. Currently, I have a 16" Cichla Pinima,1 m and 2 f motoros in one tank, a florida gar and silver dollars in another and a reef tank.

Very nice selection. I had bahia reds in the past and liked them. They don’t have much red but the shape of wilds is what drew me in. I have old videos of them in a riparium with C Cincta. I miss them.

I have some Crassipinnis on the way myself.
