    Hi All

    Name is Ruwaid, based in East London and whilst I was a member since 2015, I actually never got into the hobby until this year.

    Buying a 1.2m tank, cabinet and sump with an adult Oscar. Definitely not keen on the oscar, as beautiful as he is, but if I buy the setup I would rather start off a clean slate.

    Will be posting in the classifieds in anyone in EL would be keen on the oscar. They can have him for free.

    Anyways, really hoping to get into the hobby this time and learning from you all.

    Cheers

    That's awesome! All the best with your new journey.
    What are your plans for the tank after you re-home the oscar?

    Thank you guys!

    Im so torn between a mixed malawi cichlid tank but then that leaves me with few options regarding a proper scape and plants which is my second option...low tech planted with nice chunks of driftwood and livestock to match.
