LetsTryOneMoreTime Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Forgot to say... He's only about 1 1/2" long at the moment. Anyone got some ideas on getting good growth rates? And, anyone know the colour type/name for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leone Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 lovely looking oscar - dont know what colour you would call him tho.. he/she looks almost brindle. THey grow about 1" per month untill they are about 7". I jump on oscarlovers.com occasionally, post your pics on there and someone is bound to tell you what he is. cheers Leone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 They can reach 12" in a year providing they are kept in large tanks (3' or larger) and fed well. Nice fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAL05T Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Red tiger most likely, almost identical to my dearly departed "Chomp". 13 1/2 years old, 13 3/4 inches and sire to a crazy amount of fry. Very affectionate fish if you pay them attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryOneMoreTime Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 That's the plan... (S)He's going in a 4x2x2 once I get it set up in the new house... Good feed isn't an issue, all the rest of our menagery get fed better than me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattnshez Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Awesome colouration Was he bought locally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsTryOneMoreTime Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yeah it was local... Generally I wouldn't get a fish from this particular LFS because of the death reports myself and friends have... But its colour was too good to let go. He's in quarantine at the moment with a careful eye on it at all times until the quarantine time is up and I have the tank ready for it to move into...
