    I kept a smallmouth bass for a short period of time. He by far had the best personality of any fish I ever kept. I never knew bass changed colors as much as they do until I kept one. He would get so excited when any of us walked into his room. He was very similar to an Oscar in so many ways. I would love to see you do a native tank from your area. Keep up the great work and can’t wait to see your next HUGE project.

I love them all but would love more but only have 150 gallon and they are with a female Green Terror, Jack Dempsey and after quarantine two True Parrot fish lots of water changes but I want a busy tank.

    I had 2 oscars 20 years ago, after they died we kept al kind of different fish. But once you owned and loved Oscars there is no way back. We currently have six baby's in a big tank in our bedroom. When they are big enough we move them to our living room tank so they have plenty of space to grow out even more. Love to see them grow up. They are special, but you have to know what you are getting into haha. Luckely my husband is as crazy as i am when it comes to fish keeping🙈

    Had beautiful Red Oscar&I wouldn't always do it. But I'd hold a large pellet about 3-4" above the water&he'd take it w/o fail every time.
    Example of how smart they really are is when he'd see me grab the net it immediately amp him up knowing he's about to be fed. Buddy thought it was pretty cool or tell how many times he tried over the years either. Before finally giving up as my Oscar simply ignored him because he wasn't me.
