Albino Oscar Cichlid

The oscar, Astronotus ocellatus, is a species of fish from the cichlid family known under a variety of names including tiger oscar, velvet, and marble cichlid. The species is native to South America. Oscar's can grow as large as 50cm, so a large fish tank is highly recommended.

Like most cichlids it is considered aggressive, and will eat virtually anything it can fit in its mouth. Care must be taken to house with similar-sized species able to tolerate the aggression and hunger of the Oscar. 

Oscars will often lay claim to an area of the aquarium and be very aggressive towards other fish encroaching on their newly established territory. The size of the territory varies depending on the size and aggressiveness of the fish based on its surroundings. Once the oscar establishes a territory, it will defend it by chasing away other fish. A habitat replicating the strong water flow of a tropical river is ideal with soft substrate, rocks, debris, and vegetation scattered around on top. One Oscar supplied.

The complete poems of a great American poet.
Having all these poems in a single volume gives the reader the rare opportunity to see all the complexities of this major poet in all her varied nuances.
