Hi There,
Was in a fish shop today looking at some tanks. Got approached by a salesman who seemed like he knew what he was talking about. I got talking about a couple of ideas I have for where to go with my next tank. I was looking at a 160l that was on special. I also mentioned to him that I was going to looking at getting maybe a 6ft tank and getting another pair of oscars and maybe some other large fish seeing as I lost my last pair of oscars and then sold the tank. He advised that the 160l would be fine for a pair of oscars. I mentioned to him, the fact that oscars can grow to about 12" long. He said that I had been misinformed and that there were 30-40 different types of oscars, some small and some big. I advised him that I knew of 2 types of oscar, being Tiger oscar and Albino Tiger Oscar.... He said he could import some smaller varieties of oscar that would be PERFECT in a 160l.... and I must say I'm a tad skeptical, so was looking for a second opinion.
Was this guy full of crap? Or am I just really behind in the game since I last bought Oscars?
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Luke
