all are around two inches the tex is a little bigger than the rest they are in a 75 gallon with three caves 2 pots and the third rock cave in the pictures.

1. im feeding them dried blood worms, cichlid pellets there alittle big though, and they eat tropical flake food. I have six gold fish that were getting my tank started before i bought my fishys. question is, is this a stable diet until they get older for pellets and live food.
 
I dunno if people read the EBJD set up question thread. but this is the product of that thread im going to be selling the ebjd that I ordered.
 
i think i have cool fish I hope the oscar will have cool markings even though its a little to early to tell. dont their markings change as they mature. i also think the JD will have cool patterns along his spine bellow the dorsal fin.
 
Nice looking fish you've got there. What kind of filtration do you have on the tank? Also, are you planning on upgrading tanks soon or are you going to go with multiple tanks?

Do you have any full tank shots?
 
yes i do, i will pst them after FB practice. I have had multiple oscars and a tex befor. know there extremly messy and yes i will be up grading soon. I will be running two 75 aquaclear when there full grown but only one now. suggestions on lighting and filtration would be appreciated though. . . . pics tonight. thanks
 
Just give it time that TEX will get nasty. I have one that 3in and he backs down to know one.
 
thats tight. i had one a few years ago that got like 6 inches with 2 12 oscars he was boss. but mostly just around his pot. he would come out and strike then cruise back to the territory.
 
i noticed that the one i just purchased its mouth seems to be more downwardly faceing like the crown or the area above the eyes seems to have a more flat open area do you think thatll be were the bump will be as he matures. do males have the bump or females.
 
The hump is typically on the males. Females can get them from sime to time so you can't always sex them based solely on the hump.
