nothing scares this fellow

Oh chez, that looks great. That's one spoilt fish you have

Elvis spoilt NOOOOOOO
maybe just a little..lol
i am waiting for the bubble background coming now

He is going to end up living in a little aquatic palace chez lol!

hi chez lovely looking tank very nice indeed.

Aww thanks guys
i am keeping it really basic.
im not too keen on loads of bits n bobs to be honest.
i love to see planted and a busy tank.
for smaller fish.like neons.etc.......
but i like plain...
plus if E is going to get really BIG
less is more..lol

Id love some oscars (a pair) but alas - dont (currently) have the space for a tank thats big enough for them to live in happily

You are aware of just how powerful (in strength) an adult oscar is right?

NOTHING is safe - and I mean NOTHING (have spare heaters ready

Lovely fish - i will have them one day

Be Warned chez!!!

He looks quite a size now chez - how big is he now?

lol
hes about 5 roughly

just measured him.....
5x3

Thats quite a size chez - you must be feeding him well ..........all those mussels lol

I do have a spare heater
but in this tank the heater and filter are encased in a black plastic compartment
if you look at some of the pic's you maybe able to see it its on the right.so safe there.
the only damage he can do is maybe up root the rubber bubble curtain i have just put in.
it has got weights on it buried in the gravel.
plus i have heard they can burst through the tank if thin glass.
i'm hoping that this tank is the thicker glass.
but big plastic bucket and pink net on the ready..
this is why i really dont want anymore fish in there.
i couldn't cope with a couple of 12 inch fish..lol
plus they might fight or worse mate

If you want a fish to break the tank - get a Pacu

The only way ive heard of oscars damaging glass is by accident - that is to say when theyve been moving rocks n stuff around the tasnk - they damage the glass that way

As fo mating - why would this be a problem - oscars are great parents - very little work for you to do and id imagine oscars are fairly easy to sell on

anyway - if all else fails - keep elvis in your bath - I assume you dont mind sharing the bath

lol we dont have a bath Rich
we have a wet room..

no babies thank you
and knowing my luck i'll end up with 2 males/females..lol

2 females will be fine

Hi All.............
Here we go again
she has Just added some more pics of me now with the bubble background paper.
it has given some depth to my tank and the uv light is not as bright and looks alot better.
i think its scarey but she wont have it..
she says i will just have to get used to it.....WOMEN.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i suppose its better than looking at the boring wallpaper..........






don't know what i'm doing in this pic below......admiring the view.?



Im staying out of the way in this pic while she takes the shot.lol



these 3 are of me before she added the background boring..................







LOVE ELVIS..IN grace Fish land............

p.s see what she ends up putting in next.????????????? i dread to think.....

p.p.s......the p.c.screen is NOT in the tank..lol

lovely photos chez elvis looks to be having the time of his life in that bubble curtain.

Dear Elvis,

I am sorry to see that your owner is still being so mean to you, although I do like the new look of your tank tbh, but I dont have to live in it do I? It just isn't right, but I think I have a plan that will help you get your revenge.

I have seen on YouTube a video of a fish a bit like you (but not as handsome of course!), where the fish leaps out of the water and bites the owners hand at feeding time.

You could do this at regular intervals - not all the time but just now and again so she wont expect it.

Have a bit of a practice, but make sure you dont bang your head on the lights, that wont help at all.

Hope that helps.
