No kidding, and they'd probably give one a big container of koi food for
bringing such big Oscars in. ~ jan

Hi all,
Well, the oscars certainly don't like it out in the pond. They did not
look
good at all. So I filled a tub up with water from the pond, I would guess
about 20 gallons. No way near big enough for these guys...they are about
8"
long. I have a filter on it, but it is not meant for something that
big...better than nothing. I don't have anyplace to keep them
permanently. I
need to find a new home for them. I do know about the nitrogen cycle, but
it's
been a long time since I extablished my tank, and I started with just a
few
fish...which I still have. Anyway, If anyone in the Boston area can give
a
nice home to a pair of oscars, they are free. I have also e-mailed the
original owner, to see if he knows of another place for them. If worse
comes
to worse, I guess we can ask the LFS if they'd like them. There is a
black and
grey tiger oscar, and an albino oscar with some orange on it (and a couple
of
small battle scars). These guys certainly deserve better than what we can
give
them here.
Until then...I guess we'll have to keep up with the water changes!
Thanks,
Erin
