Got My Oscars

I got both my Oscars the other day and they've settled in so I figured it was time for a photo shoot. The albino was feeling quite photogenic, moving right into my frame and changing poses; the red oscar was shy of the camera flash so the only picture I have of him is in his log :)

This is my 90 gallon. I'm using black gravel, lace rock, and floating plants. One thing I did NOT expect is I have a gross mold-looking growth developing on some of the lace rock. Called the tropical fish store I bought it from and they said it does this and I'll have to scrub it off. Gross. It looks like white fuzz. Other than that it should be safe for all fish, but may raise the pH slightly.

I'm already enamored with these little guys! It's so much fun to watch them eat and I can't wait to watch them go after some frozen bloodworms. They are quite interactive already and I'm just in love.

Edit: I don't know why these look so pixelated upon posting... they were taken with an 8 mp SLR. :P

i luv that first close up of ur albino! i got a couple oscars but my firemouth ate them..... sad....:(

I think I have that same log on the right hand side! Congrats on your purchase! You will enjoy them for years. :)

Thanks! I love them already.

I looooove baby oscars :P

Nice ones! It is so cute how big their eyes look at that size; cuties, and they look healthy too.
That's a good setup too; seems simple and easy to clean. Oscars really will rearrange any tank with plants, etc. So if you had plants, they would be floating around instead of in the gravel.. lol, I have been there and done that. I have one plant that is actually weighted down in its branches that they cannot make float, but if they could find a way..

*happy face* I looove oscars, even though mine got a little excited last night and when I went to feed him, he almost flopped out of the tank...lol. They are very fun fish.

They are such cool fish. My uncle has one and he will come right up out of the water and take feeder fish from your hand.
