These are old pics of a 72g, 55g and 25g. Some of the fish were shuffled around because of aggression issues. Back then I didn't think 6' tanks were necessary. Boy was I wrong. The h. Cyano had to be rehomed. The convict went in the 25g. The oscar was rehomed too, because I felt the 72g was too small. Not enough space for a 13" fish to move around. It's because of these mistakes I changed my views on tank size.
What did work was the salvini, firemouth, robertsoni and swordtails. Had nearly zero aggression.

Nice fish Steve, I miss keeping oscars,used to keep them a lot in my younger days. I was very tempted at ordering a wild Colombian Oscar that Dan informed me was available from Lincs fish in the UK.
I ended buying some heros sp Rotkiel instead.

Thanks Darren. I miss having an Oscar too. My wife loves them and keeps asking me to get one. But I don't have the space and right now. Whenever I move and can add additional tanks, I will get one.

Jeff Rapp's has these.
