Two New Fish!

       Recently we have adopted two new oscarfish. They are not the smartest fish in the classroom but they will live. Sadly they don't eat their food it is just floating on the surface. They will eat anything they can fit in their mouths. They had a rough ride to school and are very cranky. The fish will eat melons, oranges, and other fruits just like in the wild. They will also eat fresh water shrimp and crayfish. One fish is about 6 inches long and the other is about 5 1/2 inches long. The bigger fish is orange and black and the smaller fish is green and gray. Their scientific name is Astronotus ocellatus.
