I had him and 3 others in a 125g since they were a mere 2". Everything was going great for the first year. He had a minor aggression problem which caused the other 3 oscars to eat less thus he quickly out grew them. Today he is a full 3" bigger then the next biggest and around 5" bigger then the other two. Over the last month his aggression towards the others has gotten right out of hand. I've found missing scales, large chunks of flesh missing, long scratches, ripped fins, ect. on the other oscars. I was worried that he might one day kill another fish so I separated him and now he sits in a 20g waiting for a new home. :neutral: Not a good situation, I know.

I'd like to see him go to someone who can provide him with a good sized tank 50g+. He's probably best kept by himself, but he might be ok with other aggressive fish, convicts, JD's? He's in good health with bright colors and no signs of any health problems. He eats pellets, lettuce, and occasionally shrimp.

I don't have a current pic of him but here's a video of him when he was smaller. ***Pause at 10sec hes on the left***

So I'll be selling most of my breeding stock, as well as my 2 main tanks.

First up we have the 100 gallon cichlid tank:
4 large yellow labs, 2m/2f. Produce fry monthly, healthy and some of the largest males I've seen - $65
5 adult Black Acei - Breeding colony, 3m/2f - Also breeding monthly, in great shape. One female is currently holding - $50 for the group
5 Hap. Sp.44 - 1m 4f - Breeding like rabbits! One female holding currently, all females have produced fry for me. - $70 for the group
4 Synodontis Multipunctatus - Coming up on adult size, They seem to like to get in on the breeding of my other cichlids, but I haven't gotten any fry from them yet. $15 each or $40 for the group
3 female Melanochromis Auratus - still juveniles, $5 each
1 Julidochromis Marlieri - unknown sex, $10
5 Ottopharynx Lithobates - 1m/4f bought from the Brant auction, can't remember what I paid but I'll put em out there for $25 for the group. Still young, the male is just starting to color up.
4 female O.B. Sciaenochromis Fryeri - 3 at roughly 1" 1 around the 2" mark. $10 each
1 female Sciaenochromis Fryeri - roughly 2.5-3". Has produced fry for me in the past, but hasn't shown much interest lately. $10
1 large Ottopharynx Lithobates male, white blaze, could never find a female for this big beautiful fella, but he;s a stunner for sure. $15

Once the fish are sold, the tank will be available for sale. 100 gallon tank - 5' footprint. Glass lids, single bulb T8 fixture, metal stand (could use a new coat of paint) with Jager heater, Fluval FX5 and Fluval 405 filters. The FX5 is less than one year old, and is more than ample filtration for this tank on its own. The tank is show quality, with only one or two small scratches that you can really only see when its empty. I have a bunch of beautiful driftwood on slate, some lava rock, and probably 75+lbs of a mix of white aragonite sand and natural gravel as well. For the whole package I'm asking $500. I will consider parting out, but would prefer to sell it as a package.

65 gallon grow out:
about 75+ Yellow Lab fry ranging in size from 1/4" to 3/4"
about 40+ black acei fry, ranging in size from 1/4" to 3/4"
about 25+ Sp.44 fry, ranging in size from 1/4" to 3/4"
massive male albino bristlenose pleco, beautiful specimen. Just got him from the Brant auction. asking $25, or I can add a smaller female ABN for $35 total for the pair.

Once the fry are sold, the tank will be available for sale. 65 gallon tank, 4' footprint. 2 sponge filters, 400 watt Marineland heater, some small flower pots, a couple pleco caves, and 2 small pieces of driftwood. asking $100 for the package. If there is anything you would like seperately, pm is key, I'll see what I can do. Thanks for looking. Pick up in Brantford only. ]]> Items for Sale *Hobbyists Only* soul http://www.kwas.ca/forum/showthread.php?22788-Downsizing-sale-everything-must-go Pink Millepora SPS Coral Colony *Closed* http://www.kwas.ca/forum/showthread.php?22787-Pink-Millepora-SPS-Coral-Colony-*Closed*&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 16:39:39 GMT I bought this pink millepora aquacultured SPS colony a few weeks ago but it just doesn't seem to get along with my tank (won't open up its polyps very much). It is ~4" wide. Hoping it will make a nice addition to someone else's tank. Asking $35 or would consider trading for a plating SPS (ex. monticap), nice LPS or neat soft coral colony. Please PM with any questions.
