oscar-like fish!

[CODzilla]

Giant gouramis are awesome. I have never owned one but always wanted to, I actually went to buy one but it had been sold. Now I don;t have the tank space for one. The one I was going to buy would jump out of the water, roll over and allow you to pet him.

Shame they look like a melted wellington boot with eyes.

a face only a mother could love, good fun to watch them with a ping pong ball though but they do have the most personality of any fish ive seen, put oscars to shame and i feed mine by hand

None oif those are anywhere near close to an Oscar's personality. Only an oscar acts like an oscar, thats why they are the most popular wet pet of all time. If you want a glassbanger then go for a midas or rd or black nasty or dovi...but if you want the ultimate personality fish of all time, theres only one real thing and that is the oscar.

Good lord please stop it with this extreme Oscar loving dribble. I guarantee plenty of other large cichlids have just as much personality as an Oscar, if not more so. How many other large cichlids have you kept? What species?

And I'm going to have to agree with Younglin here... Blood parrots ARE pretty gross. But I probably wouldn't have brought it up in this particular thread.

i thought it was an oscar lovin related thread, noticing too much argumenative posts its all fun

Sunfish have great personalities. Very close to Oscars imo.

Why everyone is being a jackass about Blood Parrots? If OP wants a fish with a personality and I answered the question...

I do think that Oscars are lame and ugly fish that it makes me want to puke....makes sense? If you can't say anything nice, dont say it at all.

I just got a pair of large Chocolate cichlids. They are very cool, and very mild mannered as far as cichlids go. Nothing near the aggro of Red Devils and other similar fish.

Remember now that your opinion is wrong regardless about Oscars,even though you own Oscars to figure out their personalities,cause as everyone says,they only chase fishes to get to the food first and are sissies of the cichlids,with zero aggression.

Base on my EXPERIENCE with Cichlids and no its not just with Oscars either.A Green Terror,Texas,Blood Parrot,Oscars,Severum,Salvini,Black Convict,firemouth,jack dempsey,and jaguar all have personalities of their OWN.It has been proven that all cichlids are different from each other regardless.
