ohhh chops has friends!

i had no intention of getting oscars , but the red spotted sevs werent in a good way , and i didnt fancy them . Then as i was walking along the tanks , these 2 came rushing up to the front of the tank wagging away as if to say meee meeee pick meeee. that was me hook line and sinker . it means the corys and bolivian rams will have to go soon , but i think i can live with that .

are they true albinos or leucistic (i think thats the name) cant tell on the pics

very nice tho

 

[markandhisfish]

i havent got a clue mate , whats the difference? cheech is exploring his new home , but chong is just sat on the sand looking very peeved. is that normal???

 

[star4]

You did it on purpose just to get bigger tank

Sounds like chong is having an oscar sulk, its normal

 

[markandhisfish]

from reading up at 120g i should be just about enough with no tankmates. but if i end up having to get a bigger tank oh well . lol

 

[walkers101]

you will get used to the sulking mate they look nice what size are they?

 

[markandhisfish]

id say they were around 2 to 2.5 inches

the albino's have no color pigment at all and are much more rare

and leucistic have color pigment

in the bag they look albino but not sure when there in the tank

pink eyes true albinos

i once knew an albino person
when i first met him and he took
off his dark glasses it freaked me out
he had pink eyes

From the tank shots I think lutino, gorgous which ever they are. Just a word of warning if you start handfeeding them put your hand in the water to do so, dont let them start jumping like Chops does. I hand feed Rusty by putting my hand in the water he doesnt jump.
