My Red Oscar and his hunting mate the Spotted Gar.
They're supposedly bad tankmates but mine are inseparable most of the time.
Both are handfed daily.
The Oscar is 10", the Gar is 12".

hey, mylutino,

Oscars do yawn, or actually it's clearing their gills by inhaling water .

But it looks like yawning allright! As far as i know a lot of fish cleartheir gills like that.

and a big thank you to all who watched the vid, my first video to pass 1500 views!

Thanx, the tank is 180Gl with a 5 foot sump.

The driftwood came through a secondhand-site from a gall in my hometown, for 25 Euro's.

It had been used for a long time in her tank, so no tannins leaching at all.

@mylutinooscar : hey, there!

A Florida gar needs a tank with a footprint of at least 6' x 2' x 2', for a gar can turn badly due to his hard scaled body.

A tank this size will sufice for at least 3-4 years, but most likely for life, for young of the year usually do not grow to their full potential in hometanks.
