I got these guys from Jeff Rapps. I got 6, and 4 have survived. I am hoping for a pair, as I really like them.

They act very different from tank raised oscars that I have had. Much more reserved and like to hang back, until the food hits the water!

Great looking O's! How big are they?
 
Nice. Looks like they're still in the juvenile coloration, so I'm guessing about 3"? I'd like to seem them as adults, wild oscars are great.

How's the Escondido doing?
 
nice o's!

Very nice O's. Never heard of that variation. Sounds interesting.

these are some nice looking oscars,,,,,,,

they must be from bahai which is located in brazil.......
 
Thanks for the comments. I am just wanting a pair after it is all said and done. They are about 3 inches and growing fast. My guess is that they come from the Bahai region of Brazil, and I know Jeff gets the rare fish, so that is probably right.

Escondido is doing great! Here is a pic of her and the male I hope she pairs up with.
