I'm not a fan of oscars they learn your habits and will spit at you. Unless that is your thing get another ciclid. Convicts are a good choise.

I tend to like the jerks, they make life more interesting

Hi! Nice set ups! I had 5 tanks at once before but have none now. Someday I’d like to get a 75g and an Oscar fish, but that will be a few years away!
What fish don’t you have yet that you’d like to have? What’s your dream tank?

I love your question My tank would be a pure Lake Tanganiki one. All the saltwater and freshwater species you could desire.

Your setups sound nice! I’d love to see pictures if you have some.

I love fish. I have 6 tanks currently running and just closed down my pond for the year. Now all my koi are in a holding tank in the basement.
I have 15 more tanks sitting empty too
We were going to set up a fish room in the basement this year, but things have been so crazy. We just haven’t had the time. Then I lost my favorite fish... since then I haven’t felt motivated to do anything fish related.

Nice! Very pretty betta!

Thanks! What is the stocking of your tanks? Can I see some pictures?

Some of the tanks.
In them are giant danios, fantail goldfish, Bichir, rainbowfish, Florida x spiny softshell turtle, ghost knife, flagtail, glofish, nerite snails, trapdoor snails, green terror, and a few African cichlids.
Not shown is another tank with a Mississippi map and African sideneck turtles

Next is the pond.
I only had koi in the pond this year.

Their basement pool. Please excuse the messy rigged up filter. I have been scrambling the past two days to get things shut down before we get snow. 5-8in is in the forecast for tomorrow
