More personality then an Oscar.
I agree! I had oscars that I absolutely loved and had great personality. But then I started keeping natives and it was all downhill from there. I love the tropicals, but until I can afford more tanks, I'm sticking with natives. I have a pumpkinseed that is hand tame and loves interaction. My LMB that I lost last year was even better. The tiny green sunfish I have now, I've only had for a week and they already come to the tank and interact with me a bit. These are all WC as well.
