MFT, Meet "Meaty"

[Katie217]

Hey Guys! Its time to meet my new Oscar "Meaty"
I named the little brat Meaty because it just suits him, he will literally eat ANYTHING I put into the tank already, especially bloodworms
Enough of my blabber, heres Meaty!

The pics arnt that great, hes hard to get a good photo of because he moves around so much, and gets so close to the glass

Your oscar is cute.
If I had the tank space/budget to have one, I would be getting one after my future Severum dies and im sick of angels.

 

[Katie217]

Haha sounds good Bob, Oscars are definatly a fish you gotta try at least once, same with Severums and Angels...All some of my fav cichlids

 

[big54bob]

I also want some Discus. Great fish.
Maybe I could have all three as soon I get one nice job. (Not in the same tanks though)

[Katie217]

Thanks Guys!!
He literally chose me at the LFS, he was swimming around and like STARING at me like I NEEDED to take him home NOW. Was cute

 

[missdixie256]

Heehee.. Told you!! Wasnt it just sweet?

 

[Katie217]

Yeah
He's such a ham, seriously. I can tell hes gonna be such a brat when he gets bigger

 

[missdixie256]

Mmmmhmmm... I live with one of those!!! He is flashing hot pink at me right now because I turned the lights off on him... brat!

 

[Katie217]

Aww thats cute!
I think its funny when I go up to the tank just to watch him, and he looks at me like "UMM...Wheres the food?"

 

[missdixie256]

awwwwwwww.. Wait till you start feeding meal worms..lol...Drae will jump into my hands if he thinks i have a worm! He even bites my acrylic nails if he gets the chance.. Silly fish..lol

Yes, I think he/she may very well end up looking like TFG's common green tiger oscar---that's what he called it, right?

Keep us up-to-date on all his antics!
We'll all have to hit the chatroom sometime and figure out this whole 'O Club' stuff, hehe.

P.S. missdixie...that mealworm feeding sounds like a great idea!
I'll definitely try it out---once Triton's a little bigger though, lol.

 

[missdixie256]

They have tiny mealies. Drae has been eating them since he was aound 3 or so inches. You will want to try the small ones instead of the jumbo ones watch your fingers They have quite the nip sometimes..hehe
