I have 3 they only get nippy with each other and the bolivian and gold rams (same tank). But mostly peaceful, they wont bother anything else unless they are spawning. Hope this helps.

3 days and two of the rotkiel severums have paired up already! I had to remove the other two due to the pummeling they were taking from the new pair. fingers are now crossed for them to do the business

lol wait till you see what they can do to a goldfish.

O and the filtration, my 550l tank is on 6x and thats fine with a fortnightly gravel vac.

The tank will do for one , having two in there would depend on them getting along. A bigger tank would be far more stable for two, but if you keep up the maintenance it will be fine. good luck

It keeps the hobby cheap and is a win win for both, He has my jag pair there for sale on behalf also. And a tank full of my young green severums. he likes to haggle so keep him honest

Hi B&K the rotkiels were not in the book but some other strains that I didnt know of are. Ive hardly taken my face out of that book since I got it. Severums (Besides oscars) are my favourite fish.

No I bought the rotkeils but patrick told me about the ancistrus Are they your ones? I do quite a bit of business with patrick. After paying through the nose for the rotkiels I couldnt afford the goldies as well. Did you see the sevs in the bags?

Just bought 4 of these today awesome fish im so happy Heros sp. "rotkeil" http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/ot ... tkeil.html This might help if you hav'nt already seen it.

Hi there good to see you blue and kim welcome, and thanks again for the book its awesome. cheers

Are there only 5 of us that have oscars?

Thanks shae, his name is Elwood and the other slightly smaller one is jake however this name may have to be revised. Jake gets picked on a bit and has a couple of missing scales but as yet elwood looks perfect. Hummingbird that is the best black oscar I have seen alot more red than most. Travis and vicki those oscars look great and will fill out in time. Col I like that white tiger he looks a little mean.

Excuse me if this has been done before but I thought it would be cool to see how many different types (colours) of Oscars members have.

they will let you pet them if they are tame enough but you can damage them this way if you are not carefull. Mine are not aggressive . they are reasonbly intellegent (compared to other fish that is :lol: ) if not a little clumsey. They will eat almost anything. Im starting another post to see how many types we have out there.

Hi Caper, according to my research these are "super reds" Someone please correct me if im wrong). they are more orange than red. As they have got older the black around their fins has faded a bit, but they shouldnt lose the orange. They are awesome fish to watch and they like attention to the point of lying down all depressed if they dont get any.
