rather dark pictures, they're still small.

make sure u give them good food and their colors might just be really nice for you.

mine turned out well despite growing in a 15g tank.

Goldfries, is there anything special that you feed them for color. I'm using the tetramin flakes w/ color enhancer right now along with cichlid sticks and pellets. I usually rotate with no specific pattern between the three and put flakes in at least once a day. Just wondering if there was a certain type of food that you preferred over the others. Does the size of the grow up tank really matter for coloration??? I've got one tiger oscar in a 29 gal tank with a 3-4" pleco and an african cichlid that is just a tiny bit smaller than the Oscar which is about 4in. long also.

PS. How big can I let the Oscar get before moving him to a larger tank I don't want him to feel crowded.

i think it's possible to retouch your pictures. sometimes i retouch mine to make it look better.

i feed mine only bloodworms at first, now i feed bloodworms and pellets.

Crickets, crustaceans, and earthworms also make for some good grubbin'! Some damn cool fish...I miss mine!
