On Craigslist, I picked up:
2x4" clown loaches
8" common pleco
2x5" severums, 2 orange/red other is grey with bars
4" red tail shark
3x 5" bala sharks
3.5" dojo loach
2x 4" kissing fish, Gourami's
and finally a thick 4" common tiger Oscar.
Owner was turning his 125 into a salt water tank. Score...
When I was a kid, I had an oscar. Then when I moved out and Bought a large oscar... Sadly I lost interest and gave him to a fish store.
Now with all these free fish, I gotta say this little Oscar has the greatest personality. Brings me back to my childhood years of just spacing out and staring at my fish tank in my room staying up past my bedtime. I love Oscars. I guess Oscars was far from what I wanted in my first monster tank cause I gave him away for fresh new monsters.
Most of these fish will go to a friend, the Oscar too. However, I'm probably going to raise an Oscar again.
I know a lot of people hate Oscars but I love their personalities...

Any plans on what to do with them?
