Oscar wins the "puppy" award, the others need to go in the "rabid dog" poll.
 
I voted other, my EBJD is my puppy! I have a baby Oscar tho whom does a wiggle when he sees me so I'm thinking I might change my mind later on! :)
 
Oscar for sure. Mine knows the difference from me and someone else. He knows who I am.

i always thought midas' were puppy like lol but not from personal experience... i got info over the internet , after reading this i went out and got a 3inch male midas.... is the oscar way more "puppy" like than the midas? would you switch from a midas to a Oscar?

Oscars and Midas are equally owner-responsive, but their personalities are very different. Oscars like to approach the glass out of curiosity, to see what you're up to and to beg for food. Midas attack the glass because they want to murder you. So... both are interactive, just in a different way. LOL.
 
Oscar=puppy
Midas = angry old dog

:) tried and true

Exactly. I have been bit by most of the other fish on that list. Oscars are docile when I clean their tank.
 
From someone who's actually kept a fair few of those fish on the list, I go for flowerhorns. They sort of have the best attributes of oscars and midas/RD's all rolled into one.

You will obviously getting the highest votes for oscars simply because way more people keep/have kept oscars than any others on the list because oscars are more available and generally a lot easier to keep with other fish.
