I purchased three of them the other day. Cost me 50USD! Darn’it that’s a tank of gas for crying out loud! I need a larger tank now! I’m looking at maybe a 200gallon or so but I wouldn’t know where to put it because I don’t have a lot of room for anything these days! All rooms are filled which leaves the garage but I don’t want it in the garage- can’t enjoy it much if I have it in there.
Anywho, these oscars are so picky eaters! The upkeep for these darn fishes are another story. I enjoy them though. They are intelligent fishes because they greet me when I open the door which makes for an awesome entry! Going to train them to eat out of my hands. Yippie!

Fish scares me at night.
Too bad, they comfort me. They are much nicer to look at than a lot of other thing:)
What a smart pick for a self-owned aquarium. I would have chosen the same kind because of my preference towards fish with a higher memory capacity.
Every time I look at a black fish, it reminds me of my dead fish. It was pretty scary.
Jamie,
I didn’t know about their capacity to “learn” and as all fish, I thought were all dull and brain dead. I was wrong after my BFF, Google, told me otherwise. They can grow to 18″!
I’m thinking of training each one individually now. Get 3 20gall tanks and each tank, I would tap on the pane 1 time and increasing repetition on down the line as to how many times I would tap the pane to associate the # of tappings on the pane to the particular fish in question.
I’ve used this before owning Oscars. Three taps would mean feeding time, 2 taps would mean lights out and so on and so forth.
ferventlous,
You suck. Grow some man-balls and get you some fish(es). Who knows, you might “likedited” =) FYI, it’s not a black fish!
It looks pretty black to me. I can’t grow any; I was hoping you would lend me yours. I did likedited once before until I saw it afloat in my tank at 3 in the morning. So, are you going to lend it to me?
Why of course not.
🙂 I figured so.
Oh yeah, what happened to turning your pool into a pond?
Eh the queen bee put chlorine and nuked the pool before she left for her trip- she she I would have put all my fishes in the pool so it was a preventative measure ‘forehand.
