Moving forward in time. Brick stretches out on a vine while Boss hangs nearby.

Tank Patrol. They would do this in the afternoon and evening when things quieted down.

Housecleaning. Their work is never done. Their central pit stays spotless and is circled with rocks.

Funny shot here. Boss was resting under plant cover when Brick plopped down in front of him to sleep! The parrot was pretty nonplussed about it...

Hope everyone enjoyed the stories and gallery.

Always nice to see Brick, a magnificent example of one of my favourite fish species; one that is highly underrated simply because it's common and likely one of the most abused and mistreated fish species in our hobby. Oscars are a terrific fish, and Brick is practically a unicorn, i.e. a beautifully well-kept and awesome Oscar.

Boss is also...well, he's a parrot, so...he is as impressive as such things can be, I suppose...

Now, I have no intention of sifting through 2200+ posts to find the answer so I'll simply ask the question: did you decide to discontinue the use of pothos, or were they eventually unsuccessful for you, or am I just looking at the wrong pics for it? I always thought that terrestrial plants in general and pothos in particular were a great auxiliary "filter" for your tanks full of big sloppy cichlids and no aquatic plants. What gives?

Agreed, Brick is an example of what an Oscar can be with proper care. Incredible fish
