I got two VERY sick 2 inch Oscars that I couldn't bare to leave in the
typical Walmart fish kill displays.
Now 3-1/2 years later, Al & Peg still show the affects of a "bad
childhood" They are always throwing and breaking the furniture. They
dislodge filter intake tubes, break thermometers, airstones, throw rocks
at the glass, and they broke the glass top and light on their 75 gallon
tank.
Now, even though they haven't broken the plastic hoods on their 150
gallon tank, they have managed to break the light. I hear them getting
rowdy and have to go settle them down. I find them with divots in their
numb skulls with pieces of flesh hanging off them. They heal quick
enough, but I wish they would just be content tossing their 4 foot piece
of African wood around.
I hope by the 2nd week in January to have them in a 96x25x25 240
gallon. Seems like a big tank for just two fish, but I won't risk
putting Tilly & Silly the two smaller 9 inch Blood Parrots in with them.
Cause last time Tilly & Silly had Al & Peg hovering in the corner taking
pieces out of them. Kids!! I'm telling ya...wadya goin to do?
