oscars are boring.

[Militis]

I think that they are boring because they are ugly and they take up a lot of room, so if you have one, then you probably have very little fish in w/ it.

they are not ugly they are COOL lol this is gonna turn into a heated debate.

Oscars are probably 1 of my least favorite cichlids. They just don't do it for me and I've come across some very ugly Oscars. Not a very attractive fish.

I love oscars. Such personality, and they are so impressive! I think they look awesome.

I agree! I think they are awesome cichlids and have across some not so pretty ones, but those were generally in terribly housing. Most look and act awesome!

^ just look at the fish in his avatar. Its beautiful! Everyone has their own tasted but I love O's.

They're great cichlids but I can't look past the fact that every LFS stocks them and every goof with a 2 foot tank wants them.

Great entertainment at feeding time when visitors are over. I'd recommend them to people but wouldn't ever get one myself.

I think there boring cuz there pretty ugly, and there is so many other CA/SA cichlids out there that are better looking and funner to watch

Oscars are lovable mugs!

I love my four Os, i could say I'm just a little addicted to them. I spend more on them than i do my self. I'm in the works of making a stand for my 304 gal that i made for them and my RTC.

The only reason I'd buy an oscar is just to have a fish that, despite being a bit slow, grows to a nice size and looks great in a big tank. I hate the look of 12" oscars in a tank less then 125G or so because they do look a tad cramped.
