Oscar Adolescence

[Tiktaalik Owner]

After uprooting his plant and digging up his bubble wand, Bruckner the O attempts to chase his evil twin away (or would it be his "good" twin?) They really are "open pit spawners." He shares his 90 g with 3 SDs and a reclusive Firemouth.

I thought he was big back in February. At this rate I'll have to skip tanks altogether and simply flood the basement. He can have the rec room. This is his old tank.

very nice! Glad he is in a suitable tank. Sometimes I think my 90gal is too small for mine too!

Very nice O. Mine does the same thing. After 3000 times of replanting,I gave up and took them out.

I had to do the same thing and eventually had to remove all decor. I hate it being bare with just gravel but he always moves, redecorates, topples, or destroys anything I put in with him including other fish! The only things that have survived are a 12" pleco, 4" pink convict!



Sorry for the hijack.

If I had a bigger living room I would have went with the 48 x 24 x 24.

If I had a solid concrete slab to put a tank on this one would be tempting: http://www.oceanicsystems.com/products/half-circle.php 144 gal, 57.5 x 29 x 29. Everyone who gets these wastes them on reef tanks. It would make a stunning Oscar tank.

am i the only oscar keeper with a well behaved fish that never rearranges anything in his tank? lol. i have two large plastic plants and two big resin 'wood' pieces and they have been safe in his tank since day one and he's pushing 11 inches now. the worst i've had him do is bite the canister intake tubes and knock them down (rena tubes come apart pretty easy).

This is proof that you have rowdy and sneaky fish, highly intelligent. He rearranges everything each night but puts it back before you catch him. He's a thrill seeker who loves to play mind games. Get a nanny cam and see for yourself.
