hello,

my mates tank has just sprunk a leak and he is needing to re-home a 2 inch albino oscar. i have offered to put it in my tank but obviusly we dont want it to just be a meal for my 5 inch oscar. i dont know how ling it will be living in my tank for, it could be 1 week it could be 3 months..unless he decides never to buy another tank or repair his then i would have to keep it..

any sugestions to how this might go or what i could do to make it go better?

I cannot remember what tank size you have got. Personally, I would get him to take the fish back to where he got it from. The last thing you want to do is take on Oscar that is going to grow very quickly and then cause you problems in a few months. The fish is very small at the moment, the fish shops should take it, it's when they get very big, that's when fish store sometimes don't want them because they haven't got the room

my tank is 90 gallons..

i think if it gets on with my oscar i might just keep it and get him a new one. i wanted another anyway and this way i get to help a little fish lol...

well im off to pick up the oscar now.. wish me luck lol..

my oscar has calmed down loads now and does not seem to atack anything so this might go rather well

well the albino is in my tank now and he has had a look round my oscar and they seem to like each other but only time will tell...

he is ver tiny..prob about 2 inches..my oscar is 5 3/4inches now

everything might be just fine, not all Oscars are killers like some people try to make out

well my oscar did want to eat everthing in my tank at one point but now he is real calm.

my mate told me that the albino is about 30 days old and he is a red albino..

im really looking forward to watching another oscar grow up and i cant belive that my one was this small only 6 weeks ago lol

quick update of the albino..

well my big oscar has chased the albino a little but not to much.

the albino is very scared of my big oscar, but i can understand why lol..i enen got him to eat a couple of cichlid pelets.

so all well so far

well i thought i would do a quick morning update..

well the albino has lasted the night and has no bites out of him yet..my oscar has started constantly chasing him but its more of a get out of my tank than a i want to kill you chase lol..

it is hard to feed him as my big oscar will just move him on and eat the food but every now and the i manage to get a few to him so i know he is eating..
