so my oscar is a year old this month
and well he is only 9 maybe 10inchs
is this were he will stop growing?
or will he maybe reah 14inchs in another years time?
can i have some pictures of your oscars with how big he is and how long it took him to get there?
ill try to get a picture of my oscar in the next hour!!!!
make them recent pictures guys dont post old haha only if its not trouble for you!

my 14 months old oscar at 12 inches long


and yes, growth will slow down at that stage... wherein body mass will
develop further. you will notice the body will become thicker...

this is my biggest of my four. she measures in at a hair over 14 inches.





the other three come in between 10-13 inches in lenght.......

heres my baby

wow i hope mine reaches 14inchs
probably wont but well see
still love my oscar
if ppl end up with a ten inch oscar does this mean there bio load wont be as bad as if they were to have a 10 inch oscar

confusing...
It's the mass of the food you feed to your O, that will create your bioload.
For example my Tiger is a few inches smaller than my red, but the Tiger will eat at least 60% of all the food that is tossed into the tank.
So it's not only size that matters, but a healthy appetite creates a bigger bioload.


My red grew upto 10" in a year and growing. The tiger has just past 7" and is growing fast.

lovly pic noddy
keep the pics coming guys

Nice oscars. I can't wait for mine to get that big.

yes, finally a reason for everyone to put a pic of their O's up. Necro, cool Oscar pics. I like the colors of your O in the first pic. all the other O's are great also.

My Red O went from 2" to almost 6" in about 3 months. He continues to grow very fast. I think Red O's grow the fastest and are the most aggressive (my theory based my own experiences)

I agree with Cebo! Necro, your oscars are gorgeous! Especially the first one. Very vibrant colors!
I hope this link works... This is my oscar back in January. She is about 5".
