pemfish, I might help supply my son with a larger tank and equipment, if he wants to do a breeding project for a school science project ....
Our other two Oscars are 9 inches and 10 inches, with alot of character, so my son is getting over his loss, with the other two to entertain him.

He has read your condolences and was touched. He wanted to join the forum and give everyone a big dose of KARMA, but I told him he has to wait until he is 13 y/o... (forum policy) ...

He also has a species tank of a red belly pirrhana 5 inches, and another species tank with a wolf fish 12 inches long. And a 55 gal salt FOWLR with a spotted grouper, dwarf fuzzy, choc. chip star, and pencil urchin... I think he's "hooked" on the hobby... so will not be too discouraged from the loss.
He says if another one jumps out though, he wants to mount it and keep it for a lasting memory...

It sounded crazy at first... but I have 4 kids and I do lots of crazy things...
Has anyone ever mounted a fish that died of natural causes?
Thanks again for your comments,
chum
