wow i'm suprised how many people love o's so much. i though dats would be owning this thread by far. i'm another vote for Dats aswell. though O's are cool too.


just think about it for a minute ive had both andwell dats are cool and a nice looking fish they tend to be more skittish and not as owner responsive now on the other hand an oscar has a ton of personality they are also an attractive fish and an overall joy to have
 
I have an Oscar. He/She was my first purchase. I wanted something big and that would make an impression when others walked in the door. I love him. He has the greatest personality. Like a puppy dog as someone else mentioned

I have never had a Dat so I really can't say much. I love the way they look, but I've heard good and bad of them. They are expensive when big and unstable when purchased small, so I've hear.

I think Dats are for more advanced fish keepers only because they are not common. Granted, just about everyone has/had an Oscar, but it's just about the only fish I really enjoy for more than looks.

I have an entire colony of Burundi Frontosa, a malawi tank, and a mixed tank. The Frontosa are my pride and joy, but none have a personality like my Oscar.
 
oscar no dought about it...i don't like how dats are so hard to get and i don't like the look of big dats either while oscars have nice colors and very responsive personallity
