Ok, got a young pair of oscars for my 110 a week or so ago, and I have NEVER had a fish with this much personality! These guys are a hoot! They're already eating right from my hand! here's a couple of not-so-great pics of them and the tank.
My new babies!

(sorry for asking so many questions)
got them at my LFS for $11 each. I'm feeding them cichlid food (flakes and pellets) , freeze-dried shrimp as a treat (that's what they eat from my hand) and a generic tropical food (for a few of the other fish in there, but they eat it anyway)
Very nice oscars Kitty ! They are a very personable fish and lots of fun to keep.
What size tank is that you have them in though ? It looks like a 29....if so, then you'll be needing something larger in a very short time. Oscars can grow to over 12 inches...and some folks will tell you that not even a 55 is large enough for just one oscar.
Just gotta love that fish !!

wow, that must be a worst picture than I thought! that tank is a 110! of course there isn't really anything to compare that to as far as size. Perhaps I'll get a pic of me "attempting" to gravel vac it. :dive2:
