These two pics are the smaller guy, he gets chased around by the bigger one sometimes but overall doing just as good just a little smaller.

The bigger of the pair, that is just one single feeder in his belly. A rather large female guppy to be specific.

Looking forward to them getting bigger so I can ID them.
 
im guessing mono
 
I've kept my 1" ocells in between 80 and 82 degree water for 3 or 4 months i believe. Just because I'm stubborn like that and i believe that bass and most fish from the amazon dont require 90 degree water for the rest of their lives.

Now my ocells are at 5 to 6". They eat till they cant fit anymore in their stomaches and play rough with each other just like any other bass i've seen.

I dont think you always need to bump it up to 90 degrees but i would admit that you may need to if you have a lot of other small sick fish in a tank with your baby bass or if you are new to the fish hobby. that's about it though.

Um...... I don't know.......Let me think about it....
Maybe because the warmer the water the less diseases and parasites you have to worry about..which in turn equals less fish deaths.....obviously. :ROFL:

Since when were you supposed to put fishes that you own as your avatar?!?:screwy:

If that's the case, im wondering why you don't have pics of fish as your avatar. Actually, i'm wondering why you don't have a pic of YOUR fishes as your avatar..........hmm???? :)

It's seriously hard to understand all of your negative responses and what you're trying to prove...... I'm sure you can agree with me on that one.
 
Wow, I had forgotten how small they once were.

Quick update of my pair now. :)

- When I walk in the room now they dark back and forth at the surface awaiting food. I've been splashed a few times as well, they hit quick and hard. The other day I moved the temp probe and upon putting it back in the water one of them grabbed it instantly. Kinda freaked me out. They don't mess around.
