Aquarists, UNITE!!!

They're very aware fish and tend to 'bond' to the humans that own them. Like Oscars.

Yeah, my big ol pie plate seems to do just that.

The man that owned her passed away suddenly (Ran over by a log skidder) and the wife just ignored her, the tank was nasty! I don't blame the woman, it was her husbands Oscar, and she said every time she looked at the tank it killed her inside.

All I wanted was that tank for my corn snake, Somehow wound up with yet another lost soul to take care of.

I put a fairly large dace minnow in there, and it can outrun "Peach" so that minnow has been alive for over a week, constantly running from a hungry Oscar!

BTW - She is still getting fed, she likes the smaller dace minnows a lot, hell on goldfish too (Sorry about that, but Oscars do eat goldfish)

Our daughter just picked up a pair of fancy guppies, I get the babies

Anyone ever try the brightly colored guppies to get reluctant feeders to eat??

Eh, I try to avoid live fish diets with carnivorous fish... Apparently there are some thiaminase issues in there too.

Try feeding him worms; he'll love those.
Oh, oh! And bloodworms. AND Hikari cichlid pellets! They LOVE those! :P

Yes "Peach" likes the pellets, but she has left 2 crawlers in the tank I had to skim back out the next day.

What have I gotten myself into here?? If I start setting up aquariums all over the house that actually have water in them, please shoot me.
