hey guys and gals....

recently, my big tank was hit by green algae due to direct sun light (my son forgot to put the cover when i was out). yesterday, while i was trying to scrub the inner glass, i noticed two small creatures at the back of my pumps. i was so surprised to see two small malnourished oscar (with big head and big eye but small body and tails)swimming under. i could hardly see them due to green water. i was so excited and keep jumping like a child.... when i came to my senses, i asked my children and my wife if anybody among them had put new fishes in there. none of my family had any idea of what i am saying..... when i show them.... they reminded me that three weeks ago, i put in there loads of wigglers which i used to do allowing my angel fish to feast on them. aside from my angel, i have two juveniles that were given to me by my son and they are now about 4 inches long. how in this world they survived this hostile environment?, given the fact that i am not ready yet to have loads of oscars.

as of now, i have mixed feelings,....sorry for not being ready to raised those wigglers... excited having these two new fishes....

my question is.... how big will a wiggler grows in three weeks time? this two small yellow fish is approximately less than an inch long.....



i am clueless......

hey guys and gals.... thank you....you can not imagine how excited i am.
i hand pick them last night and carefully check. the
smaller one had shattered fins.... i am not sure if it due
the nipping of the angel fish but the other one is perfectly okey.
official size : 18.0 mm

just to keep you posted... the small one that had tweak
fins seem to be recovering..... and taking food eagerly....

i think they will survive.....

things that cross my mind is that my white oscar had
a lutino lineage.

You put new born Oscars in with Angels for them to eat? That's kinda sad but I guess if you didn't you'd have 100's of Oscars. Have you thought about selling them to local fish stores?
If you can't beat them...arrange to have them beaten!
