I just bought myself a breeding pair of Convicts and a pure white albino oscar. The oscar is sulking. Laying on the gravel, hiding behind the filter, and my convicts have eaten a cube of blood worms... 3 of my neon tetras :screwy:. And some fish pellets.

I don't know what to feed my oscar, if i feed him fish food the color enhancer will give him red and i can't feed him my neons because i read that "...tetra bits will bring out your oscars true colors..." I'm thinking of making my own pellets. I have some Vegetable pellets from my crayfish and i think i might water down those and blend up some shrimp to mix in... Yummy :drool:

Any ideas of what to feed him?

I would take pictures, but my camera Is crap..


Cheers, Liam
 
Congrats! I don't really care if the camera is a disposable, or a Nikon D70x, I wanna see pics! :D
 
yep me two....
how big is the oscar?
you can feed him flakes/pellets/cichlid pellets.peas.spiders.woodlice.n so onnn.........
is you cons a pair?
if yes a word of warning if the oscars of same size be careful i had a pair when i got my oscars then the laid eggs and went beserc attacking<fending of everything:cry:
so thought it safer and regreatfully gave up the cons
 
well if it is a true albino then the color enhancers wont do anything unless someone is trying to hide something :D

and if they are a breeding pair of convicts then I would get them their own tank, because they will gang up on he oscar and kill it...
 
I got them in different tanks, and the oscar is one and one half inches long, I'll get off my ass and take some picks. I got my oscar with some swordtails i bought.

Brb in one second.

dont feed your fish spider because they can make your fish sick because all spiders do have some kind of venom in them just not all is harmful to humans...
 
I have the convicts in a about 20-18 gallon tank and the oscar in the same
