well they have left the silver shark alone

got given this so only option was in the bichir tank

Nice Oscar

yes it is

6 yrs old and about 7 inches

has been in a small tank for the last few years

That is a BEAUTIFUL oscar!

WOW

7 inches at 6 years!? Man thats stunted, maybe we should link this thread to the one in the cichlid section lol

:slfg:

yes it is small for its age

has been in a 200L

IT IS NOW IN 1OOOl+

and suffering from agoraphobia :lol:

not really

do stunted fish catch up with their growth if put in a bigger tank later on?

sometimes they do

this one still has a good shape

but it will be wait and see

nice oscar.

i really want an oscar that is predominantly white with very little red.

dont know where to get them!

So if he had been in a huge tank from the start he'd be bigger?

Unless doing an autopsy, ah, if the fish's size is stunted what about internally??? Do the internal organs still grow in proportion, ah, if you know what I mean :facepalm: :oops:

Thanks...oh, and a very pretty fish!

Caper

So if he had been in a huge tank from the start he'd be bigger?

probably, but like humans they come in different sizes

it will also be dependent on breeding genetics

an oscar can reach up to 12" and at its age should be bigger

fish with oversized internal organs usually have an oversized abdomen

That could be my problem--must get a bigger house.

:rotf:
