My sister has an Oscar who she loves to death. He knows when she comes into the room, when she is talking to him and everything! If I walk in the room Guy (the ocar) won't give me a second look, but when my sister does he gets all exited!!!

I think they are WONDERFUL fish, I want one myself. Hee hee. But thats the only kind I know about.

We had oscars several years ago. There were two of them (a red one and a tiger oscar) and they were huge. When hubby would start getting their food ready they would start splashing with anticipation and occasionally water would fly out of the back of the tank! He had a friend who would occasionally throw in dry dog food for his oscars, so hubby would do that as well occasionally and you could actually hear them crunching on it!

We do have lots of slate pieces in the tank and occasionally we'd have a fish that would cause a "rock fall" because he/she would insist on digging at the base of the rocks! We have also had many "unplanned pregnancies." hehe! We were fortunately able at times to be able to net out the babies and take them to the local aquarium store.
