and if youve noticed.. the small mystery fish like to moves around alot and is a bit camera shy.. while my large oscar will fullys poses lol. and dont mind the messy tanks, thats just my oscars idea of home decorating... i swear to you EVERYTHING in that tank was placed somewhere else and placed a lot neater.. my oscar just likes to decorate things to her taste lmao.

ahhh bluegill.. that makes sense lol

well the oscar was a pet fish we had for several years. the bluegill my mom bought from the pet store along with 59 other live bait fish that we use to feed the oscar. thay red fish my dad told me was a red tilapia or so.. but i guess hes wrong since u claimed it as a mayan chililid, he caught it while fishing and thew it in the tank when he got home.. the fish at first sank to the bottom so we held it about 2 inches from the surface because supposedly that helps rejuvenate the fish.. and now its fine and swimming fine not sinking anymore. its a little scared though lol

It is definitely a Bluegill, it is an American sunfish. It looks very health too, did you catch it from the wild? Your Oscar looks very god too. The other fish in the tank that has the eye spot on the tail looks like a Mayan cichlid, they are from Central America. You ave an interesting mix in the tank, South American fish, Central American fish, and a North American fish, lol, they all look good though. I keep Oscars with Bluegill also, they actually get along great for being from totally different areas.

Edit: Wow, I am surprised that your mom was able to buy the bluegill, unless the pet store made a mistake. They are not allowed to sell native fish like that, but you are not in violation for having it.

The other fish I am also postitive is a Mayan cichlid, and I am guessing that you either live in Florida or Central America if your dad caught it while fishing. I have been fishing many times here where I live and often catch these Mayan cichlids. It is good you got it aclimated to tank life, and yes it will be skittish for a while just because you got it from the wild. Depending on it's size when you got it, it should get over it's shyness though. Below I will post a couple links for you of Mayan cichlids, you can compare them to your fish and see if it is what you have, but I am almost 100% sure.

Not too sure- lol about the Oscar, mine do their own feng shui when I am gone too. I would guess your mystery fish is a scat based on the first picture, but in the others it looks more like a mixed convict cichlid. Those things will breed with just about any kind of south american cichlid and produce all kinds of mixes. The stripes are what makes me think that.

the second one looks like an eelhead...

sorry on your own
