Hello fromm Walla Walla, I have two Oscars, a Pleco (common), And Just Rescued a Group of 6 Frontosas. I responded to an add for a used tank and when I got there the Owner was preparing to throw these fish in the trash! Well I bought the tank and took the Fish A breeding pair about ten inches each and 4 surviving fry from the last couple of broods. The remains of about 40 fry were in the 6" of muck in the bottom of the tank. After several hours of cleaning I have the fish out of the trash can I transported them in and back in the 150 gallon tank. The fish have gotten their color back and seem in remarkably good shape for what they went through. I need to find a home for at least two of them in a week or two when I'm sure they are healthy. How could someone abuse any living thing like this?

Ooops I forgot I also have 2 55's of Orandas Angles and Gourmies.

Welcome. And nice find. Smile Sounds like you got there just in time. There are a few Frontosa keepers on here, you may get lucky and hook up with one of them. Good luck with the fish.

I'll be gone this Week end, Have to pick up another tank....I need a bigger home for my Oscars, and since the tank I found for them has Fronts in it I still need another 150.Does it ever end.
