(Im Setting My Tank back up 100 Gallon)

I have a 8-10 Inch Oscar, Free as well. Would love to see it go to a good home. Very good looking fish.

[Tin]

Oscars are some of the best fish, I used to keep them along with other large cichlids. Theyre pretty damn smart too, not your typical fish. If I still had an aquarium Id be taking one of em off your hands. Do you breed Oscars?

[controlled insanity]

no i dont breed, but i have to many tanks down here, total around 800 gallons surrounding my bed

[Tin]

You sound like how I was when i was your age. I was always bringing fish home (usually cichlids). Ive had oscars, dempseys, red devils, flowerhorns, convicts, firemouths, neets, etc. you should go check out Wet Thumb Aquatics...theyre out around New Haven. Theyve been breeding their own stock for over 50 years, and they ship too. Theyre only open to the public on tuesday, friday, and saturday. Even if you dont buy anything, its more than worth it to check out.

[controlled insanity]

yeah man, i have been doing this since i was about 12.
im getting more into arowana's and larger breeds.

[Jasper302]

Gonna be getting rid of any tanks?

[controlled insanity]

5 left 1 albino all healthy come get em

[juicedz]

Man, I'm tempted about that albino one but I'm just not sure about their compatibility with knife fish. I picked up a clown knife the other day and I'm pretty sure it's been getting picked at by my tiger oscar. I second the, "are you getting rid of any tanks"?

[controlled insanity]

no tanks are for sale. i spent so much time trolling craigslist for them. there coming with me after college.

[controlled insanity]

still available!
i don't want to post on craigslist.
that place normally becomes a white trash holiday.
1 albino
2 tiger
2 common
I also have a 2 foot pleco for grabs

[juicedz]

So true about the, "white trash holiday"! I wont even go into detail about one house I visited. Is the pleco a common or L??? series?

[MidnightG6V6]

if i had a tank i would be all over this i use to have a take in my room with all sorts of cool fish, but then they died out and never replaced them

[controlled insanity]

common pleco , i actually have 3 for grab's now.
as well as a full grown jack dempsey

[juicedz]

I'll take the 2 footer and albino off your hands. PM sent.

[Pure84GTT]

is the dempsey male or female ? are they a south American I cant remember ?

[Pure84GTT]

in any case I have a 55 long with filter setup good for 100 (dual wheel penguin with media baskets good for 75 gal and a 25 gal whisper for shit an giggles)
tank is kept at 76ish degree year round
I do a 50 percent change once a month

[juicedz]

The tank/fish would be better/healthier if 25-30% water changes were done 1x per week.

[Pure84GTT]

as of right now I have one flower horn in the tank, shes just fine at half once a month

also in the winter i loose a gallon or more a week in evap and have to add so I add atleast that much fresh a week

[juicedz]

That's sweet about the flower horn. How old, male/female, what species? I've been getting into those lately. I'm actually trying to breed two of them at the moment in a 55 but they will need a larger tank down the road. They say to clean the tank 1-2x per week with FH's and feed 3x a day but my schedule is a little too busy for that. I do 1x per week @ 25% and feed 2x per day. pics of the fh?

[Pure84GTT]

trying to take pics right now

[juicedz]

haha...FH's are quick buggers and not easy to take pics of!

[juicedz]
