My new oscars

[Bl80]

After reading how awesome oscars are, I decided to step into the water dog world ? I combined my juvie mbunas into the 140 and now have 2 really little oscars in my 90 g tank. An albino and a tiger. There are also some juvie bristlenose in there. I fig if they get too big for the 90 I can always swap them out into the 140. Some bad pix but they are actively exploring their new empire. I was glad they didn't mope. Even ate ( NLS Thera a) now to name them!

I can't view my own posts on the app.... That stinks. I put my little clown loa he's in there. But they are at least eating

Thx..... I wanted both tigers but this is a contrast.... The more I see them I think I like the albino I could have gotten a red but they look alot more washed out full grown.

It is indeed a contrast. Personally, I like the tigers better once they get bigger. The colors contrast so beautifully. But, having both varieties should be an awesome color combo.

Nice fish, I was admiring some oscars at the LFS the other day.

Very nice. I like how much the Albino sticks out on the black substrate.

I know n tIme they may want to kill one another. If it comes to that I'll have to seperate them in my 6 foot tank with egg crate. I knew going into this it was a challlange, but at least think I'm partially prepared... Compared to alot... At least they went right into a 90 to grow, lol.... The tiger comes to my finger most times already.... I can only get face shots now

Thx... They have already grown!! Good water and good food ( NLS Thera a) has done wonders.... They see my fingers and wait for the drop lol.... The tiger ( Ziggy) comes to see me when I look in the tank. I'm enjoying them.
