Wally my Oscar

[Chicklette]

This is Wally, I've had him since he was about 2". He is very active and jumps when he knows Im going to feed him. He follows me around from side to side. He is my favorite fish, so is my parrot. Wally is starting to get big now, I can't wait until he is full grown. He is not a pouter which is good and has a tank to himself.

Really nice oscar!
you said he was in his own tank? how big?

 

[Chicklette]

Thanks. Yes, he's in a 75 gallon by himself, I know that is the limit for one. He is about 7" now.

... and has a tank to himself.

Good for you! They really don't need "friends." If I had it to do over again, I'd have just my Oscar. I like my Firemouth and SDs, but I think my Oscar just puts up with them. They're not buddies.

Looking good. Like the color of him. They do grow fast. I too have a tiger oscar in a 75 that i have since he was about 2 inch. He close to 10 inch now and still under a year old.

Ya, well a 75 gallon would only hold one oscar. I like to give them room. They really don't need friends, they kind of pay more attention to you. Too bad their not buddies.

Thanks. Oh ya, he's growing like crazy. Maybe 1 1/2" a month. Wow, that's fast. I love toger oscars.

Nice oscar, 75 gallon is 48 x 18 x20? is that a stock size in Canada here in Australia i have never seen that size our stock size is 48 x18 x18 65 gallon but i would think its still ok for 1 large cichlid.
