NEW pics of my F1 Peru Oscars...a pair is forming!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Let me ask yall a question.

I am moving out the other 3 oscars today into a 6' 125. My original plan was to also move the breeding pair into another 6' 125 for just them. But I am currently thinking I might keep this breeding pair in the 4' 120 since they are not full grown yet.

So my question is...after they spawn...is there any time that one oscar will try to kill the other? Like after the fry has been in there for a while...or after I pull the fry? I have a pair of festae that are like this and the 6' tank helps them make it through it I believe. Are the oscars more mellow...will they do ok in the 4' 120 for a while just the 2 of them??
 
Ok got the 3 other oscars moved out the 120 and into the 125 along with the bullhead cat. The biggest one is about 9" and is also my fav one of all of them. Now im starting to think that one of these remaining 3 might be deformed a little. I always thought it when it was small but now that im taking a closer look at it bigger I am thinking it more. It also happens to be the one that seems interested in my big fav one so I might have to put a stop to them pairing off.

6' 126 with 3 ac110's

this one the orange is a bit more intense than it really is...but thats why I liked the pic

These are some better shots of the one I think is deformed a little. Notice under the eyes...looks like its drooping...its like this on both sides and none of the other 4 are like this. Also it seems its head is stubby...too short on the bottom...making the body stick out further than the head. And also its back end of the dorsal fin is not rounded like the others. What do yall think? I might pull this one so it doesnt pair up.

Beautiful O's NOGLAT!

Did you move the O's to your Festae pair tank? Please post some updated pics of your festae pair when you get the chance :drool:
 
You can definitely notice the difference under the eye and lower gill plate formation on that last one posted. The others look absolutely stunning though and your pic quality is great too! If I could find O's that looked like these here, I would have one in my tank without hesitation.

Nope...in my office is the festae tank...its in the middle of the 120 that had all the oscars in it and another 90 tall with geos and sevrums. Look at the very first pic i posted of the 4'120 and you can see the corner of the festae tank. This tank is in the office next to mine and its just for my fish tanks...theres that 125 2x58's and a 55 in it now with more going in it soon.

Yeah I think I am going to take that one out so it doesnt pair up by any chance. I forgot one of the batch looked off when young. I look at the oscars all the time from my desk at work...but thats several feet away...so I forgot and didnt notice until I was looking at the pics.
