What is interesting to me is how much his coloration has changed.

Yes that is fun to watch the changes.  The other thing that I love to watch is their change in personalities.  Some of us have some wacky O's :D

your oscar has nice color. i wish my albino oscar would look half as good as that one. i think the way you incorperated the tiki head with your oscars growth is a great idea.

Thanks Guys..Bruce is still growing and acting like a brat  .. ^-^ The only thing I can say maybe that his coloration is bright because of his love of krill.... ::)
Here is the most recent pic of him ..
