hey how are you Tiger? we dont get many piranha freaks 'round here, but we do have a few.

interesting fish they are, but ONLY if they are kept properly.....as i am sure you already know

you have any pics of them?

they are another one of those "fish i wish i have done" kind of thing for me.

i am sure you are aware of www.piranha-fury.com as a great site, but if not there it is.

Hey thanks for the plug managuense

What's a "Lutino" oscar? pardon my ignorance.

Managuense · 01-30-2004, 09:10 AM

a lutino is simply a color strain of oscars much like "pink" convicts.

they are not a TRUE albino, but they have an overall "white" or "pinkish" appearance to them.

pretty fish.

oh, i always give props to piranha-fury, that is a great site....interactive species map, great forum, etc.

i just have never kept them myself.

Managuense · 01-30-2004, 09:12 AM

sorry, someone was using this lutino oscar as an example of measuring lengths on oscarfish.com . lol.
