Hehe, don't worry Heather...I was mostly kidding around about finding Triton a mate. It would be cool if doing so and breeding them were more practical, but obviously it's not really feasible, as you pointed out. Besides, another oscar (assuming I were to put them in a bigger tank together) would just detract from Triton anyway. I want him to remain king of the tank!
About the other forum...do you go by the same username there?
I totally agree about what you said in terms of the numbers of trolls, etc., but let's face it, there's morons everywhere...including here. It's just a matter of weeding them out and ignoring them. Get to know who the members are who actually know what they're talking about, and then just listen to them; albeit with a grain of salt, as always.
Nice part of it is that they've got a huge section dedicated specifically to oscars. Sure, they've got a 'general FW' section and a 'chit-chat' section...blah blah blah...but the real 'meat' of the site is in the 'oscar advice' section---the 'photo' section is pretty cool too.
Overall, it's helpful to have a number of knowledgeable people all in one spot who have kept oscars for years. We don't (to my knowledge) have that many folks with oscar experience here, aside from perhaps one or two individuals.
