I'm no expert, but I've been getting some pretty cool looking baby oscars in at work...supposedly they are wild caught, but they are black with seriously bright gold stripes. Not sure what they would like grown out, but I like them a lot right now...I will see if I can get a picture tomorrow.
I have had Os before. I had 2 Emperor 400's. I now have one and a 13?watt UV sterilizer. I like these because I do not have the space for a canister and I can put whatever media I want in it. I usually add my own carbon and my own "fluff" to cut down on cost and to do what I like (if I need to go with no carbon, ie).
I do fear dearly for my cloth plants
