Columbian Oscars

[BigPic]

Just wanted to share a couple of my little wild caught monsters, there are 13 of them, they are super snarly with each other, they started between 1.5" and 2" and are now between 3.5" and 5". The dominant fish are almost white, they are very pale, I have never seen this with oscars before, but, I have never tried to keep 13 of them together.

Have a look and tell me what you think

Thanks for looking

i must say, i love oscars, mine is my pride and joy at 12 inches, these look awesome.. how big of a tank are you housing those all in? i hope to see them when they get much larger! hope all goes well with them

Are you positive they are wild caught? The pattern kind of makes me think otherwise. The wild caught O's I have seen didn't look very similar to these guys.

Thanks for sharing.

YES!!!!

One of the nicest Oscar's out there. One of my all time favorites next to the Oscar's from Bahia and the "Bumble Bee's"(Crassipinnis). Stunning.

Very nice oscars, that pale one looks creamy good. Would love to see more of these guys.

I am as sure as I can be, they arrived on a flight from Bogota, via Toronto in December, I was there to help land them

@ Everyone else, thanks very much for the kind words. They are currently in a 72" x 39" x 18", lots of floor space to share with my juvie rays. I am just growing them out to get a pair and the rest will move on.

Great Oscars! the WC ones always look so much better than the common ones to me.

Cool looking oscars! My Peru oscars were like that with the light color too.
