the comet (Scuba Steve) is in a tank all by him/herself. The oscar (Zoidberg) is now back in the 20 gallon, with a pleco that he thinks is his boxing bag. Dont think that relationship is going to last. :(

LOL, the third pic from the top, there's a decoration that's tipped over, does it say "I love goldfish" ? :)

I have one too and it's in almost the same exact position, facing down!

An oscar in a 20 G? Isnt that just a bit too small for those poop machines?

Do you have any plans on getting a bigger tank for the oscar? If you keep the oscar well fed it can help limit his/her agression...won't stop it, it may just be he may not like the other fish...it all depends on each fish from what I have seen and experienced good luck.

No worries! LOL The 20 is only temporary since were considering moving. Zoidberg is only approx 2" long right now, and I have a 55 in storage just for him! I love the concern for him though you all have shown, It's so nice to be around people that dont look at me like I'm stupid and say "Its just a fish!" Thanks! The sign in the comets tank says "Beware of Jaws"...you know, because goldfish are such dangerous creatures!:hmm3grin2orange:
I set it back upright, and he knocks it right back over. Moves his plant around too. wierdo.

Well I did read that you have had them before and I assumed you know how big the oscars get so I was just curious if ya had the tank cycling or just waiting til he is a bit bigger then going to get it going but if you might move I can see why you are trying to wait. Just remeber these guys grow very fast, and before you know it he will be ready to move.

Scuba Steve!!! I named one of my foster kittens, years ago, Scuba Steve! It's an awesome name for a pet! Did you get the name from the Adam Sandler movie?

Also, Zoidberg is great too! I'm so glad there's another member with a sense of creative humor with their names!

Yep..Big Daddy!! I love Adam Sandler!lol
and Zoidberg is of course off of Futurama. Actually my fiance named Zoidberg, he originally wanted to save the name for our first child together (God help us) but now that it went to the oscar, I hope were safe! Were such Geeks here. Do you still do foster work?

Zoidberg for a baby?....god help us all!! :hmm3grin2orange:

I used to work at an animal shelter right before I moved here to Texas in October. I'm in a rental home so I can't do any foster work until I purchase a home (which hopefully will be soon, but it just depends on how fast my house in NY sells). I miss working with animals so much. Since I can't foster in this house, I went with an aquarium which is how I ended up on this forum. I was the asst. to our medical director, so I used to foster our special needs cats, or the ones with disorders that our regular fosters didn't want to take.

You are such my kind of woman!thumbs2:
I used to work at the Humane socitey in Sioux Falls, then as a preschool teacher, now at a vet clinic. I just love kids and animals, especialy those in need. Maybe thats why I love my man so much, he has the kid aspect to him(compared to me) hes 22 I'm (crying) 30, and he reminds me of a
fox terrier,lab mix. Goofy and spunky as He@# and dedicated to the task at hand!LOL

Mine is a beautiful 6 gallon desktop with nice, long, lush plants in the back corner, natural/white gravel, with cutesy Greek/Roman statue ruin ornaments......AND NO FISH BECAUSE MY FREAKING TANK WON'T CYCLE!

(Sorry for the outburst, it's a sore subject with me).



By the way Melanini, keep up the good work with the animals! The pets of america need your help! :malelovies:
