nice uaru, i bet he looks huge at 10", mine are about 5" atm. how does the uaru cope with the midas/midevil?

That is a Jing Kang Flowerhorn. At first the FH was chasing him all around the tank. But the cool thing is that since the Uaru is so vertical shaped (like a frisby) the FH couldnt really get a hold of him. He could only head but him and eventually gave up.

He looks familiar :)

I'm not sure what happened to that oscar. I got him from a guy after his other fish (BP's) beat it silly...the nick in the dorsal is permanent but the other stuff is courtesy of my old chocolate. Also his lower jaw seems wrong but that may be from liplocking with a stronger fish.

Thanks for the new additions. All of the scars have healed on the O. I keep my tank heavily salted, .34 ppm . And pond stress coat wich is highly concentrated. His coat is coming in nicely now. He does have the messed up dorsal fin and broken jaw still, but that just makes him special.

great Uaru not sure how your plants are gonna fair with him those guys love to eat greens


Thanks.
They're fake plants. I tried real ones when I got the tank years ago, but
it just wasn't working out. So now I rock out with the fakes.

Big boy, awesome fish - I'd be sketchy about putting him in with a midas/RD!

It's a JK Flowerhorn. But they are just as if not more aggressive then Midas/RD. So far so good though. The JK is more interested in my SRT than the Uaru.
 
Nice uaru and oscar!!!!
 
That uaru looks like he's crazy hahaha (that's a good thing btw). Lots of character. As for that O, it's got a really nice pattern and with a little TLC it'll be good again.

Yeah, he's 100% recovered now. His colors have come out really nice.
