I just thought I would share some pictures of my cichlids. Here is my black marble Oscar. I call him Coal.

And this is one of, and I am not positive, but I believe is a South American Cichlid. Can anyone please verify this for me? Thank you for looking and helping me identify my fish.

I have noticed most pet stores don't know all that much about fish. So I trust the advice from here MUCH more.
Peace, Mr. Fischer :chillpill:
 
second one looks like a jack dempsey....Female or Male i couldnt tell for sure but I would lean towards female...
 
Nice fish, the second fish is a female jack dempsey.
 
aggreed on the Jack Dempsey ID.

and for fun.. the Oscar is just your basic, Tiger Oscar. Black Marbled Oscar (no such thing) just a fun name the pet store gave them. lol


edit. Uh but they are both beautiful either way.
 
I got the Marble part from wikipedia. But thanks for the info.

Astronotus ocellatus is a species of fish from the cichlid family known under a variety of common names including oscar, tiger oscar, velvet cichlid or marble cichlid.[1] In South America, where the species naturally resides, A. ocellatus are often found for sale as a food fish in the local markets.[2][3] However, its slow growth limits its potential for aquaculture.[4] The species is also a popular aquarium fish.[5][6]
I am pretty new w/ tanks, but allways loved fish. I am upgrading my tank to a 55 and moving my Oscars to it till I can get something bigger. Then I am switching my 38 to a variety of Cichlids.
 
Here is a picture of my bigger Oscar.
