great to see that you have some more wrigglers. It is a pain when the pair continually eat the eggs. Some years ago i designed and made an egg protector to stop oscars eating there eggs.I had quite a lot of success with it. The making and using of it is featured on my breeding oscars dvd. I will try to get a clip form the dvd and post it on you tube but cant promise as i am really busy at the moment. But it really worked well and i was able to get avid egg eaters to look after their fry.

I should get your DVD, I just don't have any extra cash right now. Maybe in the future.

Ok, Here are some more picture updates, First Nemo at 33 days old





And now a few of the new wigglers Day 3. None are swimming yet, but they are all pretty active along the bottom.

I think we should make Nemo Oscarfishlover's mascot he is looking really good, like part of the family

I noticed you used another one of my pics for the Breeding Oscars page of the website, Thats cool, I'm glad my pics have come to some use.

Nemo is starting to get a lot of black in his fins, does this mean he is going to be a Tiger, or is this just a general Juvi. coloring? Is it too soon to tell if he will be an Albino Tiger or a regular tiger. It's so hard to tell when his parents are one of each.

No matter what he is, I already decided When he gets a bit bigger, I will put him in a group of red Oscars, and try to pair him up with a red. My LFS doesn't normal have reds, but the owner said he will order me in some when I'm ready.

No wigglers are swimming yet, but I expect to see a little more activity out of them sometime tomorrrow based on when Nemo started leaving the bottom of the tnak.

Here is a little treat for you guys. I have taken a few quick video clips of both Nemo and the new wigglers. I just threw them up on a quick webpage on my server.

You can see them here

Excellent videos, just goes to show that they are greedy little beggars even at a very small size. Let's hope the small fry last a little longer this time
