Hi all, I know most people say that their fish isn’t growing, but they are just being impatient, but my Oscar has not grown. He is about 2 inches and I’ve had him for 2.5 months, he has grown 3/8 of an inch in the time I’ve had him. About him:
- He is missing one eye and completely blind in the other (he originally had two lumpy eyes but one disappeared a week in)
- He eats 2-3 times a day (pellets, chopped shrimp, frozen bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp) and has a very good appetite but I have to hand feed him
- His pattern has matured even though he hasn’t grown
