Default Overly friendly oscar?

My friends mom has a 120 gal tank and she has a red oscar (about 9 inches long) and 3 pacus fish. His name is Kermit and he LOVES people you can actually put your whole hand in the water and he brushes by them like a cat (he has never bitten anyone but if you only put your finger tips in the water he stalks them, thinking its food)

Isnt that just too cool?

That's pretty normal...
And...
Return the pacus or do something with them

When my Charlie see's me come home from work, he won't stop slapping water till I give him a hello rub down, he's a kick.

I had two oscars growing up and they were awesome. The most outgoing fish I have ever encountered. I was very tempted to go with one or two in my tank, but then I would have been just limited to them. Maybe when I upgrade I'll buy one for the old tank.
