Hello there! i'm john from Philippines..

I'm new to this site but have been keeping oscars for a long time. My first oscar was when I was highschool. I had him for almost two years but unfortunately my tank got broken so I had to put him in the pail for a couple of days with only aeration but he didn't make it and died. I shifted to flowerhorns but then again, there's a rotational brownout here in our country that time due to power shortage and all my flowerhorns died.

Last January, I visited my friend who owns a local fish store. I saw three lovely oscars then I remembered my first oscar and think if I could get a new one since I have lots of empty tanks. And so I bought one, because I know keeping oscars requires huge space and my largest tank in here is only a 55gal.

Here's my buddy..

"I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire..."
