    Tiger shovel nose catfish. They grow amazingly fast and are beautiful. I would post some pictures of mine, but don't have any. I got mine at about 1" 8 months ago. It is now almost 1' long!

    Oscars are also awesome large fish. They have amazing personality. I have had mine for almost two years now. He is so friendly I can hand feed him, pet him, and even hold him in my hand in the water. He's like a puppy.

    We have a black and red Tiger Oscar and he's such a sweetie. You'd think that a fish that was that big and could rip apart other fish would be scary to put your hand in the tank with, but not at all! He actually likes to be pet and will just sit back while you do maintenance to his tank. He will also swim in circles when you show him food if he's hungry and turn his back if hes not. He's got such personality!
