ok guys there is a poll up on my community page asking if i should give the old guy one more shot, or let the new guy in- please go to the poll and leave me your results! TY
Thank you for recognizing the veterans and our service members. Me and my husband come from Military families as you can see from the picture that I display so proudly in my live streams. You scooting across the floor was made me chuckle. Hope big Poppa can give you a nice spawn!
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I haven't been successful with breeding them. My female is small. My small male terrorize her, so I separated them. I have a 11-12" male pyro.
Big poppa and his tankmate are the Pinnacle of trimacs in the US tropical fish world. Mo raised these fish but you have grabbed the reins and I congratulate you. I have fish goals and the Trimacs are at the top of my list. I hope you get that spawn because I would truly like to have a group of juvies from this pair. Keep up with the awesome job. Thanks
Hey King and Queen! Awesome video as always, that male Trimac is probably out of commission in terms of being able to breed, but I would highly suggest waiting for a month before introducing the female to your younger Trimac! Just my 2 cents! And OMG Oscar and Parrot Hybrid?!?! Holy hell! Please keep us posted, I would love to see what they turn out as lol, very interesting mix and unlikely couples on top. Oh another thing! If your Wolfies and Umbees have some fries, I would love to come over and snag them! Please let me know if you are donating any of those fries! Stay well and quarantined my friend, my respect goes out to your military family members and thanks for serving! Salute!
Beautiful pair you ended up getting. Big Papa is incredible! Thank you for sharing. Loved the video. All your videos are appreciated. I enjoyed the spur of the moment video today. It was a nice surprise and we were actually able to see the eggs from the Parrot/Oscar before they no longer are around (read your previous comment). Thank you for all you and Liz do. Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸
Means alot Carrie- you may see more of these videos- really less work for me and seems to be doing better on youtube for whatever reason, Could be the topic of this video, or maybe you guys like it when im a little more free- i guess we will see- ty again
Great video Scott! At least we won't have to see your Parrot and Oscars on the Maury show lol :D. I'm really into the Amphilophus family looking at your tanks, can't wait to have something bigger than 40 gallons to have a single/pair of wet pets :)
I'm glad you like it because its much less work on me and by the numbers it seems to do better than the videos i take days to work on.. TY for viewing and leaving a comment
@@ScottMclaughlinJ very true Scott the time involved is massive and its very authentic as well. I love your Trimacs mate. I am growing one out will have to get your opinionon him
They really are impressive, can see why they're your favourite fish. Congratulations on getting the beautiful pair. Bet you couldn't sleep the night before picking them up like a kid on Christmas Eve.
Ok Scott so jelly right now. Breeding pair. If they spawn I'm gonna need one. And the Parrot and Oscar deffently need one of them. Give the old man a chance. If doesnt work switch out but im deffently gonna need one. Happy Memorial Day
Hi Scott, I rewatched your video again and tried listened to the sound of the pump again, the sound of the spingle reminds me of the first one i actually bought, and unfortunately it is going to fail, if the housing is getting hotter to the touch, then definitely is only a matter of time my friend, I did install the pump on a 3" thigh sponge for adsorption, but glued a piece of plywood on top to separate the sponge for the actual pump, because it does generate some heat.
Excellent ! Very interesting Oscar and parrot cichlid wow! And for big papa... He's been with his lady how long? I been with my wife 27 yrs and I couldn't imagine being separated from Her🙂 That being said, that young awesome male trimac in the garage would produce some nice fry. You have a decision to make . Thank you so much for this video! I like all the styles of videos ! Keep them coming.
hmmmmm you ever hear how sound is muffled underwater?? Doesnt seem to be bothering the Dovii- they just keep spawning every 2-3 weeks- ty for your thoughts though
The tri-macs 🐟 are beautiful but I would try the younger male with the female and retire the older fish. As for the Oscar/parrot hybrids it won’t become anything. I had a convict and angelfish breed but nothing came from it. I would of cull the fry if it had. Thanks 🙏🏽 for the shoutout to the vets, as a vet and fellow hobbyist I appreciate you took that moment to show your gratitude 👍🏽. That loud pump , well you can build a box and put foam installation in it and that will greatly lesson the noise of the pump.
you can probably remove the rock with the eggs on it before they hatch and put them in another tank if you are gonna try and keep them? or put up a divider to keep the other fish from eating the fry? I would like to see what kind of fish the oscar and parrotfish pair produce, a new mutt?
G’day mate top work on the pair so big I hope you get some good years out of him. That Oscar nest looks awesome and so fun to watch but I’ve seen Oscar Parrot mix and it’s not that good of a look for someone who has had Oscar’s since 1995 but some people will like it but for me they are a mix only a mother can love lol. But in saying that I’d get one off you if I could lol. Thanks for the respect to the man n women who give us a way of life Rest looking fire dam that pumps loud lol
I hada red devil mate with an Oscar, and when she pasted away, he mated with a parrot cichlid. Most if the fry from both pairings looked like the red devil.
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I am and I hope you and Liz are as well. That was my bad. I worked with Myron "Mac" McCullough. Had a brain fart there for a second McCullough, McLaughlin. It's close... sort of 🤣
I have an opportunity to buy one right now but i cant afford him. Money comes and goes who knows i might buy him even though i know ill get yelled at 😅.
The air pump is not good,is not that durable and is to loud...i use to have one, and change it for a aquaneat air pump 300gal/ with two outlets..very silent ....by the way nice video.
I am a little depressed so i went to a doctor he said i have a Cuban Cichlid Fish disorder. The only cure is to get a bunch of fry and nature them to adulthood
This is what I’m wanting a breeding pair for 5 juvis right now for a male and I have a female I can get that already is 7 inches hey my 5 juvis are from Kevin too
I'm assuming male fish are just like human men as in they can keep going till they're 100 hahaha 😂. With that being said let the older one go another round then retire him. 👍🐟
ok guys there is a poll up on my community page asking if i should give the old guy one more shot, or let the new guy in- please go to the poll and leave me your results! TY
Give the old guy a shot
Great video! Happy Memorial Day. Looks like some good videos coming our way!
Good to see you Kenny- and yes stay tuned we have alot more to come! Ty again
Nice big fish! Can’t wait to see if the eggs hatch!
Great video Scott. Definitely give the old fella one more shot. Beautiful looking fish. 👍👍
TY Brother- Greatly appreciate it
Thanks for your support of our veterans.
Jim
Nice shout out to the Military - old salt here aboard USS MIDWAY CV41 when we smashed Sadam the first time . Nice vid Scott - keep it up
Much respect to you my friend- ty for protecting our country , my freedom and my rights
Sick update , man that camera is so cool ! POV mode I like it
Good video. Thanks for sharing. I love what you got going on. I'm dying for some Trimacs in my collection as well.
Thank you for recognizing the veterans and our service members. Me and my husband come from Military families as you can see from the picture that I display so proudly in my live streams. You scooting across the floor was made me chuckle. Hope big Poppa can give you a nice spawn!
I love the trimacs. I have 2 males and 1female. Great video!
Trimac are great great fish and to me better looking than Flower Horns but thats just my opinion- TY for watching. Have you got yours to breed yet?
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I haven't been successful with breeding them. My female is small. My small male terrorize her, so I separated them. I have a 11-12" male pyro.
Awesome fish Scott. I hope you get one last spawn out of Big Papa. Looking forward to your new tetras on Saturday.
LOL- Funny Mike you got me on that one
I had a pair of trimacs for 17 years. Mac and Maxine. I loved those fish.
Great video!
TY Ian i appreciate you- i will get back to you on Facebook as soon as i get caught up with everything

Congratulations, you are so happy about it you just went with it. The raw footage was nice to see.
Yeah i guess i am very happy right now to have this pair- it showed on the video didnt it> Rounded Rob thanks so much for being a friend
Great video Scott! At least we won't have to see your Parrot and Oscars on the Maury show lol :D. I'm really into the Amphilophus family looking at your tanks, can't wait to have something bigger than 40 gallons to have a single/pair of wet pets :)
Ty Brother- When you get the bigger tank let me know- i will see if i can hook you up with a few things
I really like the off the cuff vids Scott. Great update
I'm glad you like it because its much less work on me and by the numbers it seems to do better than the videos i take days to work on.. TY for viewing and leaving a comment
@@ScottMclaughlinJ very true Scott the time involved is massive and its very authentic as well. I love your Trimacs mate. I am growing one out will have to get your opinionon him
Always love the trick Mac's, but my mind is blown Scott about the oscar and parrot!!
i should have named this video the Oscar Parrot LOL- everyone is really into that story- TY for watching
I would love to see those babies, and would possibly want some. Also been looking for a 100+ gallon tanks. Preferably used.
Dennis IF the eggs hatch and i get fry, i will not be giving them out- in fact i will probably have to destroy them,
@@ScottMclaughlinJ ok, I do understand that we don't want any off the wall odd ball offspring
I would love to see what they look like though.
They really are impressive, can see why they're your favourite fish.
Congratulations on getting the beautiful pair. Bet you couldn't sleep the night before picking them up like a kid on Christmas Eve.
I would love to see how the true parrot and Oscar fry turn out. I would love one in my aquarium. Super exciting!
man everyone is excited about this parrot oscar mix,,,, I hope they actually hatch
You'll have to at least keep a couple to see how they turn out.
Ya I would definitely like some more of the out of the ordinary videos 👍
as well as this video is doing, i am certainly going to try and repeat this especially since its so much less work for me- stay tuned friend
Ok Scott so jelly right now. Breeding pair. If they spawn I'm gonna need one. And the Parrot and Oscar deffently need one of them. Give the old man a chance. If doesnt work switch out but im deffently gonna need one. Happy Memorial Day
Ok for YOU LORRI since i like you so much, i will give the Old man one more shot at breeding
@@ScottMclaughlinJ That's great he deserves it.
Very interested to see what happens with both the "Odd Couple" and the Trimacs!
i will keep you posted and TY so much for coming through
Good Luck with the breeding project(s) :)
Only the Trimac,,,, and oh and yeah the Cubans
Hi Scott, I rewatched your video again and tried listened to the sound of the pump again, the sound of the spingle reminds me of the first one i actually bought, and unfortunately it is going to fail, if the housing is getting hotter to the touch, then definitely is only a matter of time my friend, I did install the pump on a 3" thigh sponge for adsorption, but glued a piece of plywood on top to separate the sponge for the actual pump, because it does generate some heat.
Hi! Are your using foam under your tanks? The trimac is really nice
some of them do if they werent even
That fish would be so cool!
Excellent ! Very interesting Oscar and parrot cichlid wow! And for big papa... He's been with his lady how long?

Thank you so much for this video! I like all the styles of videos ! Keep them coming.
For you my friend you got it!
Wooooooow that's awesome scott that's exciting as hell. I'm still looking for a female jag for my boy shadow lmao
its funny i just picked up a female jag this weekend- where you located again??
@@ScottMclaughlinJ columbus ohio
How big is she?
Your gonna have a fish with an Oscars personality and the looks of a parrot 😍🤩
Crazy right????
Those are some nice Trimacs.
I got some frys in growing out at the moment, they are hard to get by in the Netherlands.
Man why did you put that super noisy air pump on top of a tank?? Imagine how much it sounds for the Doviis
hmmmmm you ever hear how sound is muffled underwater?? Doesnt seem to be bothering the Dovii- they just keep spawning every 2-3 weeks- ty for your thoughts though
Happy Memorial Day you guys. I think you should give the old guy some time and see if he can do his thing before he’s retired 😁
Brenda you might be right- did a water change today in the tank and he started to get more active

WAIT FIRST TIME EVER HYBRID OSCAR AND A PARROT I NEED ONE IN MY LIFE. 🤯😮
i will keep you posted buddy
For sure I’d love to see how that turns out.
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I wonder if the eggs will be viable. If they are, it'll interesting to see how they turn out.
its not possible to hybrid Astronotus.
About to go on the king and queen cichlid rabbit hole to find out if the eggs hatched and if they did I neeeeeeed one lol
Thought tangled up on cichlids closed???
It returned under new ownership.....
No sir it was bought and reopened by my buddy Kevin- great guy and super super knowledgeable
I think you should give the old guy a chance! You know you have a good back up plan. Take care.😊
you are probably right- im gonna put a poll up and let you guys decide
a very interesting and enthusiastic idea, lets try breeding the female with the old timer hahahahahaha
Put a piece of foam under that pump... its just vibrating that grate, hence the loud noise...
Hi. I just learned this the other day: when hanging a flag vertically, the blue field goes in the upper left.
ty for letting me know- i do want to hang the flag correctly
This is the fish of my dreams, Cooper was going to get me fry but... love it
i will keep you posted- Sis
Oh yes i too agree that the new male should be given a chance once.
Please keep us updated on the True Parrot and the Oscar pairing
Scott is it the rio sarabia or the rio naranjo
Did you ever get fry from these two fish?
How old is he Scott ?
Mo said 12-13 years old
you can probably remove the rock with the eggs on it before they hatch and put them in another tank if you are gonna try and keep them? or put up a divider to keep the other fish from eating the fry? I would like to see what kind of fish the oscar and parrotfish pair produce, a new mutt?
I can’t imagine a Parrot/Oscar hybrid. I have just begun a breeding project with a trio of hoplarchus psittacus.
Hard for me to imagine too my friend- I have bred alot of cichlids and never seen anything like this. TY for viewing
King and Queen Cichlids new sub here do you guys have any fuelleborni OB????????????
G’day mate top work on the pair so big I hope you get some good years out of him. That Oscar nest looks awesome and so fun to watch but I’ve seen Oscar Parrot mix and it’s not that good of a look for someone who has had Oscar’s since 1995 but some people will like it but for me they are a mix only a mother can love lol.

TY Brother- thats awesome you have seen a parrot oscar mix before- so now i know it can be done. Awesome
Yeah but the parrot fish was one of those ugly out of shape half goldfish half parrot half ? You know the one not the beautiful parrot cichlid
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 👍💪🔥
What you going to do with hybrids
let them get eaten
@@ScottMclaughlinJ if they do hatch please keep one, would love to see it grow up
The parrot fish eggs hatch let us know!!! I want some!!!
I know you don't want to put any hybrid fry into the world. But I would love to see what they turn out to look like
Loved your fish set up new subbie from me cheers
Did you ever get trimac fry?
I'd like to see what those babies look like if they do hatch. I'd take one or two.
I hada red devil mate with an Oscar, and when she pasted away, he mated with a parrot cichlid. Most if the fry from both pairings looked like the red devil.
thats really cool- thanks for sharing
You should sell those fry from the Oscar and the True Parrot. I'd buy some.
I had an air pump just like yours. I threw it in the garbage...too loud, ran hot and wasn't very powerful. Replaced it with a Alita air pump.
Please let us know if the babies hatched or not
MORE FISH 😮
I HAVE NEVER HEARD A A OSCAR HYPED
I DIDN'T THINK OSCARS WAS COMPARABLE WITH ANYTHING ELSE. IM INTERESTED IN WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
im feeling the pressure to try and get them free swimming now...... Oh Boy!
Nice big tanks but they look a little dark.
I always thought Oscar fish can breed with other species of fish please let us know what happened
can oscar mix trimac?
Uncle Mac? Uncle Mac's name wouldn't happen to be Myron, would it?
No his name is John- Hope you are well brother and ty for viewing and leaving a comment
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I am and I hope you and Liz are as well.
That was my bad. I worked with Myron "Mac" McCullough. Had a brain fart there for a second McCullough, McLaughlin. It's close... sort of 🤣
Interested accidental breeding would love if you keep following us up on those fries
everyone loves this side story- ty for watching- unfortunately if they hatch i will not be giving them out.
Hi I have the same pump and I just place it i a huge piece of sponge
i will try that out- ty, The other one is real quite
My trimac is all ways hiding and I just upgraded him to a 60 gallon by him self
what ever happened to the Oscar + Parrot fish eggs
I have an opportunity to buy one right now but i cant afford him. Money comes and goes who knows i might buy him even though i know ill get yelled at 😅.
Honestly I know you dont wanna spread hybrids but if they are healthy I really would like one that's something that's too rare to pass up
we will talk my man
Damm!!
The air pump is not good,is not that durable and is to loud...i use to have one, and change it for a aquaneat air pump 300gal/ with two outlets..very silent ....by the way nice video.
ty my friend
2 years later, how did the Oscar and parrot baby's turn out
That’s bad ass ......
If you want big papa genes in the up coming fry I would leave big papa in the tank he’s already in I believe he has another spawn in him
Ok we will see- ty for your thoughts
I am a little depressed so i went to a doctor he said i have a Cuban Cichlid Fish disorder. The only cure is to get a bunch of fry and nature them to adulthood
💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is what I’m wanting a breeding pair for 5 juvis right now for a male and I have a female I can get that already is 7 inches hey my 5 juvis are from Kevin too
Get Trimac cichlid with flowerhorn along fine
With south American
And african cichlids
I really true blood cichlid with oscar maybe hybrid cichild
😷👏🏽✊🏽😷
I'm assuming male fish are just like human men as in they can keep going till they're 100 hahaha 😂. With that being said let the older one go another round then retire him. 👍🐟
Sis- I will let Ozzie break the news to you ..... LOL Ok i will give the big old guy a chance.... Maybe i can drop in a blue pill lol
@@ScottMclaughlinJ 😂😂Sounds like a plan 👍🐟
What ended up happening with them oscar parrot fish eggs
