kiwiplymouth Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 :-? looks like a goldfish :-? I recon they look like a huge fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Im guessing they would only be good by themselves, and only one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flosty Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I have seen juvie long fin oscars for sale in the LFS but whether the finnage looks like that when they grow up remains to be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 had them a few years back, finnage wasn't as good as that though they bred so some may still be around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I like the top one, but thy kinda don't really look like oscars though .. you wouldn't what to put them in with fin nippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 they are prone to so many diseases though. they occasionally pop up in stores. but look raggedy, fins get blood streaks in them. they look naturally sick - nothing like in the pictures above.

Dixon1990 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Lets keep mystic away from male fighters then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Did I say Male Fighters are Ew, no - I said Longfin\Veiltail Oscars are. My choice. 8) I like the fins, juss not on an Oscar. I agree with you mystic it just doesn't look right, the fins looks pretty but NOT on a oscar - oscars are mean looking not flowly and pretty lol "JMO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thats EW and WRONG! :evil: +1 I wasn't going to say anything, but I'd pick one of the wild caught oscars people have been showing off on MFK lately over that monstrosity any day. They could legally be imported too (wild or long finned) as they are still A. ocellatus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 lol Well I think its wicked, but I don't really like oscars I imagine some would come into the country (if oscars are not all locally bred these days) at some stage? Each to their own I guess.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I reckon its so bad I would never own one nor will I sell one Its a fish that is going to have alot of problems and hardly ever look like that Id rather get myself a very nice normal Oscar and have it look amazing and happy without having to drag that tail through the tank Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 imagine a veil tail discus would be even worse lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiplymouth Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I found one today at the LFS and could resist. :bounce: :bounce: It just a Juvenile but will be interesting to see how it matures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Are you keeping it by itself? Its fins wont look too good after a while if its with agro fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nothing in the tank seems to bothering it at the moment. I will be keeping a close eye on it and have a spare cycled 5 footer to move it to if need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
