Caper Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 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!

livingart Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
