HELLO FROM THE UK

Postby wizzy on Sat Dec 08, 2007 3:17 pm

Hello from the Uk. I have just found your site today as I was trawling the net to find articles aout Oscars. I have only been keeping fish since last Christmas, wow Its nrly anniversary time  ;D.
I began by having a Biorb as a Christmas present, and naturally put all the wrong fish in it . The Orb is basically a 60 litre fishbowl. Mine contained 3 red tailed black sharks ( rapidly only had 1 RTS ) 1 gibby plec, 3 dwarf gourami, and neons that lasted all of 5 mins before deciding to float.
Anyway, I feel I've come a long way in this hobby since then  :toothy9: and of course I've been bitten by the chichlid bug.
Current tanks    the Orb in the bedroom containing 15 cardinals, 1 cherry barb, 3 phantom tetras  plants
                      20 gallon juwel in the kitchen containing corys, khulis, guppies and a baby bristlenose
                      30 gallon tank in the front room containing 1 breeding pair of Convicts ( on their 5 th spawn...at the momment there is 3 generations ..mum and dad...4 babies from 1 spawn , about 1/2 inch long, and a new set of fry )
                      40 gallon tank in the study containing my reason for being here 1 tiger Oscar and a female JD.

Hubby and I have just paid for a new juwel tank rio 400 for the front room ( 100 gallon) to put the Oscar and JD in .
I am looking for peoples experiences with these stupendous fish.

I am looking forward to joining and learning xxx Wizzy

Welcome aboard!! Yes most times ONE Bowl/tank won't do!! seems they start out small then get bigger as U get more into fish keeping and bigger cichlids.. Great on the 100 US gal tank.. Thats a good size tank and your Oscar and JD wil like it much more than the 40 gal..
