CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

thanks Raven, ya we have a fake stone cat sticking its paw into the water, so it keeps birds and other cats away, so ive got that covered. and i have an extra 55gl in the basement (its actually my dads) so if i absolutely need to he can go in there. thanks for the input guys.

stone cat?

i think as security it reffers to netting over the surface, spot lights stuff that actually stops predation.

in my opinion, just put the Os in a tank like their bred for, im sure a pond is hardly suitable.

either way, up to you.

ok Craig i understand that your against it, i already realize that! plz don't come stepping in and critizing what i am GOING to do. im sure my oscar will be fine.

Not adding fuel to the fire. I am sure at some point in time, one person said, "hey I am gona take that fish home and keep him alive in bucket". Another person said, "That will never work". Another said, "You know it just might". The point is, everyone has a differnt opinion, and idea about most things. Either way. I think this thread has passed the point of the reason it was first posted.
Oscars now live wild in the rivers of Florida, Myself I think you cold keep Oscars alive and healthy in a pond, given the right equipment, and proper care. However, for myself I enjoy the side on view of the fish's lives. Not too sure I want to only watch from the top. Now a pond with a side view.........thats the ticket!!!

lol... a pond with see through sides?? interesting.

Now that would be kewl...like install a "window" in the basement and put the pond right outside....that would be awesome...but alot of work...lol
