My new 10"+ pictus!!!

[javey]

Couldn't get the measuring tape there long enough, but he's at LEAST 10" . He's in with my o's to clean up crap off the bottom, soon to add PVC. Tell me what ya think! Also, my girl got a BGK I'll be posting as soon as I can get him to come out for pics!

My O's looking like they want to eat him for dinner, he punctured 3 bags, so they had to put him in a styrofoam box!:

My albino is 11", so you can see the size on this guy:

Here's some good shots of him and his size:

He's got barbels like crazy!:

Let the badboy run!:

Also, does anyone know if this is a 4-line pictus? I think so. If so how do you tell the difference? As far as I can see, he has a few spots, but none on his tail especially.

nice pick up.

He's pretty cool, $25...not bad. You rarely see them this big for sale, so I figured I better snatch him up while I can. My tank is going to be extremely overstocked with 3 full grown oscars, a big pleco, and him, but hey...I change 100% of the water every day, 50% once, fill her up, and 50% again.

At least he can hold his own in there. I think he's also a little stressed from the guy having to re-bag him 3 times before giving up and getting me a styrofoam box, and me missing the net when dumping the water down the sink and dumping him into the sink...I was sad. He's doing alright though, yet still a LITTLE sketchy and slams into the glass full speed once in a while. I think he'll chill out soon though, he'll just have to have a few days, and a little stress coat!

Due to the size of your fish I am going to guess it's Pimelodus blochii, you cannot really identify them based on color though, it varys a lot. Here is some info about blochii.

You might not want to have 3 oscars in a tank. Most likely two of them will pair up and will pick on maybe even kill the third oscar.

I have had 3 oscars in a tank before and they all got along fine but I guess you can never guess what they are gonna do

 

[Chonk]

well depending on the size of the tank it is possible. What size tank did you have?
