Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2016 You look like a bandit in that picture Flats!:-) Would that Oscar be the fish that is someway related to the perhana? If so, my brother used to have two of them in a fish tank & feed them live small fish! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, my brother used to have two of them in a fish tank & feed them live small fish! Pacu ... that's the fish that's related to the Piranha. The mouth looks like a Piranha's, but doesn't have the razor-edged teeth. The Oscars have a mouth structure more like a bass or sunfish. Found a bunch of mullet off the beach this morning and saw this guy. There was 3 and they were patrolling right in front of me lol. Can't understand why some people freak out and want to kill all of them If there were three of them, I'd think they were Porpoise, not sharks. I've seen a lot of Porpoise up around Daytona Beach, swimming and hunting in small packs like that. Very few sharks do that. But I do agree with you on the killing part. Too many people killing too many sharks just because they are sharks. Millions a year ... just one of the many reasons Wife and I hate people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlatsRoamer 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 No they were sharks alright. I have a video of them. It is sad that they are killed at such a fast rate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
