just wanted every one to see my new oscar!!

So very cute. That looks like Tetra Dorimin, it was almost bigger than the fish. You might also want to get some small pellets as these won't create such a mess as the sticks do. As the fish gets bigger, he will eat more of the stick instead of mashing it up into little pieces.

thats his night food in the morning i give him hikari cichlid gold mini pellets

Break it in half for him at least lol You'll have a lot less leftover mess settling on the bottom. He's probably expelling half of it out of his gills anyways....I dont like those sticks and such precisely because they make such a mess.

Looks like he's perked up and is settling in nicely.

he is a REALY messy fish
and i broke one in half and he ate it whole with alot less mess THANKs

NP.

Thats a good example though how they will try and eat anything so you gotta be a bit careful with large stuff when they're young. I mean, the sticks are ok of course b/c they break apart very easily, but with whole frozen fish and such its best to hold off until they're larger..thats also why some people have issues with their oscar eating another tank fish of similar size and getting them stuck.

hes in training to eat human babies and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! MAHAhahaha

you and matt need to meet.

My spider sense is tingling.

whos matt and if he is some one else trying to take over the world i can deal(kill) with him! just joking
(wink wink) maybe not joking

Your oscars looks like a typical baby, a pig. Its good advice to break the stick up before feeding

very cute! does your O have a name yet?
