The beast.....The glory......The hunger.....THE OSCAR!

Haha...he tried to bite while doing a water change today. It was tough, and he almost got me a few times. My swordtail population is out of control. I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping me out there

Great looking big boy. Oscars are one of my favorite cichlids.

I've been bitten before, and you are right. It did draw a little blood though.

Nice. What are you feeding him?

Mostly hikari cichlid gold pellets, but also blood worm cubes, shrimp, and insects. He like crickets and moths a lot. He was 2'' when I bought him about 5 years ago, and he even developed HITH. I think that was because then I was giving him LFS feeders.
