Awesome Iowa "native"

[YOOPER]

So I'm out with my daughter fishing a pond that is fed by a creek which runs into the Mississippi when this guy hits a panther martin. I saw him blast out from a log to hit it and for a small fish put up a good fight. At first I couldn't figure out why a panfish was colored orange, until I brought him up. I couldn't kill him with my little girl there so I took him home. He is in a Q tank now. Just for the heck of it I threw in some pellets and sure enough he eats them (an oscar, go figure). Just as I'm doing a mass scale-back on fish........

Dammit I hate when people dump their fish. Surely would have died this winter if not for you.

Don't tell anyone, it could spawn a new movie, "Oscar Terror!"

I would think that any lfs would take it off your hands, perhaps even pay you for it?

no, oscars are so common most of the time you won't get anything for them.

but that sucks that somebody dumped it.....hopefully its the only one.

No. Won't have the tank space when I move.

Agreed. Must have outgrown his 10 gal.

i like it also, maybe u could get someone on here to adopt it from you. I think it has neat markings for an oscar, too bad i wont have a tank for it or id take it.
