I didn't know they had stabbers?? Wow.... I just bought a pleco about 3 weeks ago, so he is still small.

We have had several freshwater fish tanks in the last 10 yrs.

My daughter wants an Oscar bad!!!

1. Only the bristlenose and "exotic" species have them; the standard plecs just have stabby pectoral fins.
2. Make sure she's ready for the commitment... I've read articles saying oscars are in breeding condition anywhere from 14-20 years, and that's just how long they're good reproduction wise!
