This fish is called wild oscar cichlid, or Astronotus ocellatus wild. Not to be confused with Oscar Wilde. :) He/she is around 5cm (2 inches). The pleco is called Gold nugget pleco or L018.
This wild oscar most likely came from a commercial breeder. Oscars aren’t endangered species, and some are probably caught from the wild. However, most oscars are easily bred in a tank.
I bought a new DC pump b/c the the Sicce silent pump wasn’t very silent at all. This DC pump is completely silent at 29% power, and it pumps out pretty much the same amount of water as the other one at that power. I’m really digging the “feed” button. That function turns off the pump for 10 minutes so you can feed your fish and the filter doesn’t suck up the food while the fish eats. Sicce Silent 1.5 was 23W pump, and this Grovita is 25W pump. The pump’s digital readout screen doesn’t flash like that in real life, it’s b/c of the difference between the refresh rate of the screen and the camera’s fps.
I didn’t do the usual drip acclimation b/c the bag was full of detritus. However, I should’ve done the drip method for the oscar. The oscar took over 2 days for him to swim around comfortably.
I bought the pleco from the same seller. I was going to get a regular pleco, but this one was so purdy. This pleco hasn’t left the safety of the driftwood, yet. He only cleans the driftwood and nothing else. I’m a little disappointed, so I might get a different pleco, and have the L018 clean the driftwood and another one clean the rest of the tank, maybe.
The baby oscar somehow got stuck in the sump. This is something that I never thought would happen when I designed the sump. I don’t know how long he was stuck in there. I was pretty sure he had jumped out somehow, and I looked all over the place outside the tank for over 10 minutes.
This oscar took around 8 days until he was comfortable with me. He finally associated me and the tweezers with food. Now, he is glued to the front glass when I enter the room.
Since he eats pellets now, the next video will be feeding him bunch of different kinds of foods.

I'll answer the most asked questions. 1.Why NO Plants? - No plants b/c the oscar doesn't care for it and will uproot and chew up the plants. It'll just be a waste. 2. Doesn't the pleco need sand? - Ok, this one is a little odd for me, since I've kept plecos in many different kinds of tanks before. I never knew people thought plecos need sand. Anyhoo, this particular pleco lives in a rocky bottom in its natural habitat. Here's a video: itworlds.info/round/goiOhMmvl82Ylp4/video 3. This tank looks boring b/c there's not much in it? - Yes, this is on purpose. I actually only put the driftwood and rocks for you guys, to tell the truth. There's a chance that I might have to remove everything from the tank when the oscar gets bigger. Maybe this particular oscar will be ok with the deco. Only time will tell.
@swttuth0329 thank you
@GoHabs 89 to show us how big the fish is in comparison to the pen.
The tanks are not boring, i like them a lot. As long as it has everything each fish needs, it’s alright 🤗
Why the pen?
@Andy Martin actually it’s 1 of 3 variations of the gold nugget pleco
Please don't put this poor fishy into your rectum.
Why do you let new fish float in their bags before letting them into the tank?
Wondering do you have channel stickers getting everyone's gonna do something cool

உங்கள் பதிவுகள் அனைத்தும் நல்லதாகவே இருக்கிறது, வாழ்த்துக்கள் அண்ணா .
my cat loves watching ur videos, especially the shrimp ones. I enjoy them as a way to calm from a stressful day, the music, how u clean, and set up ur tanks, is like how asmr works for ppl, i guess i am a visual person. lol
Love this lil guy
Will you keep us updated on his growth?
😉🙂👍
Why you do not keep seahorse to breed
Why no update in other tank🥺 Waiting for the other tank to have update
Good friend nice video god bless
love the placo!!!
Beautiful Oscar and tank.
He trying to pull of the Nemo filter escape?
What kind of filteration is that ??
Ive never laughed so hard at one of these videos. Like i know oscars can handle literally anything but too much doodoo shock. Im still laughing. Oh my goodness.
my pew
The Oscar that I had back in the day would randomly go ape 💩 when someone would pass by. Only happened when he was full size. I understand why you wouldn’t want to have too much decorations in there.
No have Flowerhornl fish video
As an aquarium hobbyist of 10 years... I am desperate to have even just a 15 minutes conversation with you. I have so many questions!
Excellent
Masyaallah Very Exelent Video But Music Haram
Had some dive and hide under a pleco after a giant gourami scared them.
i have a young 2 oscars and a peacock bass in a tank. they are very very active.
I always wondered if the music played in your video is recorded by yourself? If so your playing is really nice and I enjoy listening to it 💜
Loving oscar! Tho how is Kartoffel?
Fish was like: No... Noooooo I don't want to go!
Is that center filter? Do u have the video,i like it
I'm brazilian guy. Your videos make my days better.
Very nice
Wasn't the little oscar feeling better in its chosen places?
I enjoy watching.👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😘
It seems like he's at one million now Before he only had a hundred k congrats👍 ive missed all ur vids like building a aquarium with water liliys on the top
Well done. As always your videos are great!!!
i just got baby oscars as well
So nice
好吃
Madre mía Musoolini y Mc fish premium 😎
Nice job on the inside filter system you built- that is an excellent design. I especially like the skimmer feature on the intake . Is there some sort of safety feature if the water level falls below the inlet level of the skimmer?
I have two Oscars myself and they will found a way to get into trouble and you can't have lots of decorations in the tank. Thank you for your videos. New subscriber.
He is beautiful 😍
make a poll for his/her name or just say screw it name it whatever we want contrary to what a vent says
How you keep the music without getting striked?
Thx for this vids bro ... for these videos are a master piece .. excuse my english bless from colombia
TIL I learned you can train a fish. :O
I'm following your videos from Iran. They're beautiful and relaxing. Unfortunately, there are none of the facilities needed for the beauty of a natural aquarium here. I am very sad:((
you might want to feed the little ones some bug bites cichlid food. they have fly larva in it. oscars love it.
Greetings from Poland
The pleco reminds me a lot of the pokemon eelektross, so you could call it electro! :)
bize bu güzel videoları çektiğin için çok teşekkürler
That's some finding Nemo crap right there with him in the filter lol
Good luck keeping a ton of waste from getting down in the rock quarry...... I mean substrate!
I want a face reveal :)
Hand feed your fish... I'm inspired!
i was STRESSED watching you try to the oscar out, but the rest was so relaxing
Ikr how did the little dude manage to get in there if he can't get back out omg.. I'm glad he was able to get him out without any injury tho
