Astronotus ocellatus is a species of fish from the cichlid family known under a variety of common names including oscar, tiger oscar, velvet cichlid, or marble cichlid. In South America, where the species naturally resides, A. ocellatus are often found for sale as a food fish in the local markets. The fish can also be found in other areas including China, Australia, and the United States. Although its slow growth limits its potential for aquaculture, it is considered a popular aquarium fish.

My little oscar is so afraid right now of it's new tank. I read somewhere that oscars are known 'sulkers', meaning they get emo when in a new environment. I'll just have to wait a few days for it to adjust. I doesn't swim much now, just lying floating at the bottom most of the time.
