My Birthday Present

[FLUKE]

My whole life I have wanted a big tropical tank with an Oscar. Then a few weeks back one of my staff offer me a 1,4mtr tank with a 5 year old Oscar that must be at least 30cm+ and with it an even bigger Placo. It was his daughters but she relocated to Jhb and he was moving and didn't have place for it.

My wife however thinks Oscars are ugly and was against it. So how suprised was I when I arrived home yesterday to drop my daughter at home and there was the tankMy wife had arranged to get it delivered and set up while we were at breakfast.

So I now have my Oscar and a 1,4mtr tank for him to live in. I want to get a backing for the tank and lots of plants and will enjoy every minute of customising the tank

Here is FLUKE the Oscar

Thanks for that link, I'll check it out. I'd like to know about keeping Oscars to ensure the well being of my fish.
