who loves OSCARS

who thinks oscars look "cute". I think they are far from cute and look like a round blob with smaller orange blobs on it with their buggy eyes.


The only thing I will give them is they have an AWESOME personality. I just so happen to get stuck with an oscar or it would have been in the toilet, I'm not that mean, so I took it off the guy's hands and ever since then cared for it. NASTY EATERS, BUT ENTERTAINING. the fish jumps 5" out the water just to grab his food from my hand.

It gets better, he begs for MORE FOOD.

I would have loved this fish alot if It looked halfway decent, but the fish is just so damn ugly.

 

lmao...so what are you trying to say?

 

i do love some oscars mine got huge though lol but they do love to eat and stare at you i had 2 100gal canister filters on their tank to keep the water quality up.. i miss them now i like tigers and reds.. no albinos

 

I had an oscar, that did all of the above. Awesome fish.

The best was feeding some minnows. Just wait until it's full, and swims around for 1/2 hour with another fish's head poking out of his mouth.

 

i liked feeding mine some live shrimp or crawdads they try to fight back but always lost. they are a fun "living trash can" fish. i didnt believe ppl when they said if it can fit it in its mouth that it will try to eat it till i owned 2 of them

 

Oscars Yes I am a big fan

I like the interviews with the celebs before the awards
and I enjoying seeing well known actors and actresses who where in films I liked win awards

,they will also eat from your hand and beg for more!

 

Cute, NO WAY but the do have personality. I had a breeder pair and they had lots of babies and they make very good parents. I was the only one that could go in to their room when they had babies, and they left the babies out. But when someone else went in they would catch the babies in their mouths to protect them. When coast was clear they would let them back out. Definately an experiance that I would reconmend to others if they have lots of room.

I used to have one and my favorite part was the shower of goldfish scales in the tank after feeding.

 

oscars are fun.
whenever i worked for a lfs i always spoiled the hell out of them. a mixture of beefheart, blood worms, brine shrimp. they loved it. i also threw in some larger feeder fish and earth worms every other day. they were happy campers
carnivorous fish ftw.

a tattoo shop in town used to buy pinkies for their oscars, i never saw them feed though.
