    I can’t believe the recovery of these Oscars, there’s no sign of the whole in the head that they came with, the puffiness has decreased considerably they’re looking so healthy now .Good job Vic you’ve done them proud 👍

    How is my favorite fish the high fin doing? I haven’t even gotten a glance of her in the last few videos although when you run to rehome a fish I sure do look. Haha. Love all your fish Vic but that high fin is extraordinary. Just fascinating to me. I’ve never ever seen one so big and beautiful. You do such a great job and I enjoy every video you put out. I watch every second of every one. From Western Pa with cyber love ❤ thanks for sharing your fishes.

      I beg to differ but do value your great attention to our primitive operations here. The hi-fin has been good. Sometimes it gets a bit hungry because the eels are pigs but we try to compensate. They appear to be very slow growers. I don't think it added even one inch since the last update on it.

    Omg the Tiger Oscar’s are beautiful with all that orange. Yep that’s definitely breeding behavior. I bet you’ll get eggs laid on those rocks and that’s why they are hanging there. Mine is doing the same thing right now and it’s the only Oscar in my tank with Severums and other S Americans.

      @@Fish-Story so it pretty interesting because she chases everyone else away from her favorite rock EXCEPT my 2 male gold Severums! She shakes her tail and head…bites at her rock and the Severums just hang around and watch her closely. Everyone else gets chased by her. I’m worried though and hope this breeding behavior stops soon since she’s getting pretty aggressive which I hate. She’s normally so chill but now shoes just mean! Anyways she basically has 2 Severum boyfriends! 🤣

    • @Fish-Story
      @Fish-Story  3 месяца назад +1

      There are some IDS that are of such poor geneology that they don't exceed 1 ft in length even after several years but for an average IDS this tank would be too small IMHumO. I'd recommend a 2x bigger at least, 8x4x2, which will need to be upgraded to something 2x bigger yet in a few years.

      @@thebeastfishkeeper9394 They should be more or less 2 feet after 1 year if fed and kept properly. With excellent genes, they should grow even faster. A lot of time they are underfed, either intentionally or because they are skittish and compete for feed inefficiently. I like your plan.

    Keep them separately that will be better

    • @Fish-Story
      @Fish-Story  3 месяца назад

      Why? I respectfully disagree. They enjoy the company of their own and they do not damage each other, so there is no reason to separate but to keep together. It's natural for them to behave like that.
