Dang pet shop and its fish sales

Postby Angie » Sun Aug 05, 2012 5:31 pm

So its not my fault. But this does mean I have to put back up the 30 gallon when we get moved for the angelfish.

I think it may be a wild type. Anyone else think so?

Two Oscars in the 75 gallon tank.
55 gallon planted tank with angelfish, guppies, BN plecos, betta's and ADF's.
55 gallon flat back hex with three goldfish.

Looks like a "Common",aka "Black", O to me. That's not a bad thing as they are generally superior in genetics,and everything else, throughout their life compared to the other select-bred color morphs.
Looks like it should have some nice dorsal spotting later :fro:
Just think about it.

That's a good looking O I would have had trouble leaving him in the pet store as well. Darn shame your going to have to set up another tank. ;D

Good looking little O. Those are the ones I've seen a couple/few times over the last year or so that were REALLY hard not to come home with :D
Looking forward to seeing it grow....
