Are you sitting down? I just transferred the dark babies out into their own tank to stop them eating the small white ones and to give them all a bit more room to grow. I decided that I would count them as I scooped so that I could get a better idea of how many babies there are now that they are three weeks old. I thought I had about 200 babies total.

There are 364 dark ones and at least that many again in white..

I have over 700 Oscars...all healthy, all fed 5 times a day, no predators, minimal bullying, daily water changes with the best products on the market....holy flipping sugar...what the hell am I going to do??????? No I am not killing any...don't even go there...

SEVEN HUNDRED OSCARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap...help....shazzzzzzzzzzzzzz

simply awesome.

what a good problem to have.

post some one ebay give some to frieds go to the pet store i mean youll need a 5000 gallon tank for all those if not bigger lol good luck finding that big a tank.

wow, my Guesstimate was way off...
i suppose i'd have to ask my LFS if they'd introduce me to a wholesaler, if i had a batch of fry that big.
What do LFS say in your neighbourhood?
i do so hope they find a good home.
That ammount of babies is incredible...

One of the lfs put me on to an aquarium warehouse and I emailed them today. Tomorrow I am going to start ringing around the gold coast and Brisbane to see how many I can realistically offload. I am gobsmacked Noddy.

Do you use anything like aquarist classifieds?
There should be an equivalent one for AUS
