Oh, and to the other suggestions, I really liked the Herichthys, but this town is faaaar behind on the fish hobby. There are no breeders at all! NONE... and the only store around here is small. I also didn't want to buy online. So it was pretty much between a few Cichlids carried in the store...

I ended up with an Oscar. He's adorable. Thank you for all the advice! It means a lot coming to a new forum and people helping right off the bat!

What are you currently feeding your Oscar? I have frozen BW, Mysis, Omnivore Variety, and Beef Heart all for my fresh Angels. If I remember correctly BeefHeart isn't the best for oscars. So I'm thinking of picking up Hikari pellets tomorrow. Tonight he got a cube of Blood Worms.

Long story short I was planning on getting an EBJD, but I opened my mail and found a $117.50 red light camera ticket! Yay! So I went a bit cheaper and got an Oscar instead. I don't have the best luck with oscars (or stopping before turning on red), but I really want to try again. I think it's...

Seriously? You know I thought you were cool to begin with but giving me MORE choices? C'mon man! Hahahah, I'm kidding, but I have looked at those and I just don't get that feeling from Convicts or Firemouths. And as far as any African Cichlids I have no desire to get them again. They just...

Thank you Betta. My brother just came in and we were talking about which one I should get. He actually didn't pick either, I went to the site that (personally) I find to have the best pictures and blurps about specific fish and he saw the category for sharks. He likes the look of Balas, but me...

I will add pictures when/if I get him, they said they don't really get them that often, which must mean they don't sell that fast, so it should still be there. It's been a while though... I'm going tomorrow, wish me luck!!

10" would be perfect, my tank is 4'X16". I'd hate to have a fish that can't even turn around without breaking his tail. Be like me trying to fit in a fiat!!! :rofl: :rofl:

@MalawiMadness Thank you for the fast reply, I just got off topic because its 1am, and my brain has retired for the evening. Also, how big are your EBJD? I see a lot of people saying 8" max, then another forum says 12" max. It could be female and male respectively, but they didn't say that...

No tank mates, just the one EBJD or the one Oscar. its a 55 gallon right now, and I'm saving up for a 110+......... Off topic but I almost cried when I walked in and my kinda close acquaintance/friend (the owner) had a new 400Gal. for sale.... It was beautiful, like the Mona Lisa for holding...

So my topic suggests I'm indifferent on EBJD or an Albino Oscar, well I am. I have been doing a lot of research this past week on EBJD because they are fairly new to my attention. I saw one in my local aquarium store and it was about 2.5" (and VERY pretty, might I add.) My concern comes from...
