Nice tank. Debating replacing my 20g with a 50g rimless..

Yeah within 24hours of the purchase, all the gravel was on one side (bare bottom on other side of tank) and plants were upside down. Rocks were all over place.

Fish used to ram glass anytime a human came close to tank....

Not a very nice tank.

I did trade for a baby red oscar. Pics soon.

Nope! And as your Oscar grows he will pull them out and rearrange the tank to his liking. Really best to keep the setup simple. I even had to remove the heater. My hybrid tank

Mike!! You piece of wood on the left is scary. Lol
Looks like an alien starring out.

I love that hybrid Mike!

My oscar is so small and cute at the moment. I dont want it to grow lol

Any way to find gender of oscars?

Thanks! They are very cute.

yeah oscars grow big.
I was hoping I got a female oscar (picked the smallest one at fish store) so doesnt grow as large....
