Pics of my new Astronotus Ocellatus

I know, they are crowded in the 46 gallon bowfront they are in, but they will be moved to an 80 gallon in a week. I do daily water changes, as well as apply melafix, pimafix, aquarium salt, and ohhh boy does my room smell like tiger balm . Adding all of this to fix up a tiger oscar I got that was baddddddly damaged and was dropped off at a pet store during the night. Here are the pics

Great looking Os. I can't understand why people give them up just as they're getting fully colored up and bulked up. Glad they found someone to appreciate them.

Well I thought about that, and I figure they just want the fish so they can watch it eat goldfish...bad idea to buy a fish. Lots of people think they are really cool, and get Piranahs for example, and think it's all aggressive and a man eater, etc. I'm just glad they don't know as much about RD's or jags or flowerhorns, etc. The list goes on and on, these fish would gobble up a piranah in a second flat
