He's a Beauty.

Agreed. Great contrast in the lights and darks on him. Do you know what type of oscar he is?

 

[iron maiden fan]

his pattening looks like a tiger oscars yet I've never seen one so yellow or is that just the photo

 

[Rayne]

i'm not entirely sure what type of oscar he is all i know is i fell in love with him the moment i saw him. The pic turned out yellow but in actual fact the stripes are really kinda grey.

 

[pica_nuttalli]

that is going to be one heck of an oscar when he's grown! have you picked out a name for him?

 

[Rayne]

nope no name yet but i'm open to suggestions. i'm thinking maybe sabastian? but not sure. any opinions?

Wow, 55g all to his wittle self. So different from what I keep, but cute nevertheless. I don't post much here, but I thought I'd take a look. Pretty fish. It's obvious you've done some research. Enjoy you new guy. I like the name Sebastian.

 

[Rayne]

he's actually not by himself. he has 3 jack dempseys and a rtbs. the jack dempseys are also very tiny compared to what you normally see in a fish store. my new lfs has a lot of very small babys of normally large fish but they require a ot of info when you buy larger breeds of fish. they require specifics of where they will be housed, water samples, food, etc.. so i feel i can provide a good home to my little sabastian.
