i can't hook it up to cam.

pics are on the way,just uploading.

 

LOL. Cool, we will wait buddy!

 

Female is black with red and male is white with orange.

The tank is old,going to start looking around for someone who can build me a new one for a good price.

Both Oscars are more than 5 years old.

 

How big are they?

 

I don't have anything to measure them with.

the female is as long as my hand and the male is about a hand and a half.

crappy measurements i know

 

welcome to the wonderful world of oscars

 

When I have a another tank or a bigger one, I may consider keeping oscars again, I really enjoyed keeping mine.

 

ja they are always interesting.cant wait till my aro is big enough which shouldnt be to long at the rate he is eating just have one hiccup the giraffe cichlid i got from lizid has to go.

 

Why? and its a malawi right?

 

ja his a malawi and getting full of nonsense

 

Well it's going good so far,just have to make sure family members don't give em food each time they see them.

 

ja rather hide the food from them

 

Do you feed them anything live?

 

I went out a while ago to buy them some guppies,When i added them to the tank the oscars didn't really mind them,i went inside to have dinner and when i came back they were all gone.(i added 5 to the tank)

 

I give Killer live food all the time he just chowed a kakkerlak a black one with the hard shell. Looks insane when he killes them. ps Killer is my African bllod jewel cichlid.

 

Hi and welcome to TASA dude...

 

thanks for the welcome.

Fishwhisperer @ How big is your African blood jewel cichlid?

 

+- 10 - 12cm. When he eats lots of live food he gets Fat real quickly.

When i got him he didnt want to eat flakes or tetra prima bits at all.

Was the devil in my Cichlid tank even beat up the golden deacon twise his size.

Had to take him out tried to kill all my other fish.

Put him in the sin bin! 45cm tank. His red colour went away took me 3 mounths in this tank to get him to eat flakes and bits aswell.

And to try and reabilitate him, needles to say 2 weeks in the 1.2 tank and he made little work and a lovely dinner of a firemouth his own size not long after a pinktail shark. No further deaths or heavy signs of aggrestion reported to date.

He leaves the discus, silver dollars, knifes, gouramis and sharks alone

 

cool,I have 2 living with my convicts,they like to face of a lot with the convicts,the convicts are geting more aggressive since they started digging a hole in one of the caves.

 

ja lovely fish those jewels i had a pair breeding twice a month for months i had to get rid of them they killed off the rest of their tank mates
