	Oscar showing dominance?
BeastKeeper Big Fish Posts: 444 Kudos: 389 Votes: 47 Registered: 27-Apr-2004	this morning i was observing my oscar's old case of HITH(almost all gone!) but i yawned 3inhes from his face, then he opened his mouth as wide as he could get and started to come at the tank i guess trying to get me. so i was wondering if this is some sort action of my oscar showing his dominance? or why does he do this?
