Can anyone tell me where to find a Long-finned Oscar, I have been looking for some time with no success.
Hey Draknurd! I've got a 5 1/2" Tiger Veiltail that I had shipped from a member on here named JHutch, I've had her 2 months now. He's a great seller and I can't remember but it seems like he has a breeding pair although I can't remember for sure. So you might look up his member name and PM him.
Here's a recent picture. He was the only person I could find that had a Tiger Veiltail, all the others I found were Albinos/Lutinos.

Already answered it :) Given the fish is in the 7-8" range my bet is sexual maturity kicking in. This is the size they'll usually start fighting with other Oscars if you've got 2 together, too (if they're same-sex).

Does anybody find that Cichlid Gold pellets with O's cause their tanks to get extremely cloudy?
nope, I had used Gold pellets for my O's with no problem and currently main diet of my breeding pair is Bio-Gold+, again no problem.
I think the reason is something else in your tank.

Same here. Are you feeding more than they can eat?

two things.

1 are you overfeeding?

2 do you have smaller fish and/or bottom feeders to eat up the crumbs the Oscar drops? convicts, firemouths, and/or plecos are necessary tankmates for oscars. I don't even specifically feed my convicts (I have 7 of them) anything. I just feed my O large Cichlid Gold pellets, and the cons get the scraps. my O gets convict babies sometimes, also.

and nightcrawlers. my O loves night crawlers. they make almost no mess, and he digests all of it (none spit out, or falling out of gills). great growth food.
