First off I know Kong might sound impressive, but he is a baby so give him time.
I have been looking for weeks for the right Oscar for my tank but none of the ones I had seen was what I wanted. But my Local fish store came thru for me again and I got him on March 12th he was 1.5" long, in the last week he has almost doubled in size. The first few days he keep swimming head up almost straight up and down, I almost took him back to the store but he quit doing that after I put him into the 29g with some female guppies.
He has already learned I always feed in the same spot so he comes over to the corner of the tank as soon as he sees me. He is a huge eating machine, he would eat 4-5 times a day if I would feed him that often. But doesn't like the flake guppy food he will grab it then spits it back out. I gave him a little bit of a worm and he attacked it like a wild dog on a bone. Little dude has some much personality already.
He is very hard to get a good photo he won't stay still and I think he sees the camera as the "black box of doom" because he will hide when I get close to the glass with it.
