Day 68: Currently about 7" tip to tip, but that's an eye ball. Please excuse the dirty tank and dim lighting. Duckweed took over.

I'm a little disappointed in their fin length. I was hoping for something a lot longer, but they are still absolutely gorgeous fish, so I can't really be too upset. Their fins are getting longer as they grow, so I'm hoping as they age and get bigger, so will their fins.

They kinda look like regular fin albino oscars 😕. I love them! I have a weakness for albino oscars. I wish I could keep one in my 75 gallon.

they kinda do to me too... but comparing them to my other oscars, they're definitely long fin. just not LONG fin. lol

You could keep one in your 75... but just one and nothing else.

Yeah I can see how their fins are longer. I like them! I don't like when the fins are too long.

I would definitely give an Oscar my whole 75 gallon. Then I would have to get another tank for my baby Green Terror 😕. I will get an Oscar down the road 👏🏾.

Day 113: ~8.5" & 9". growth has slowed dramatically. Mainly due to me not feeding them 3 times a day and having to compete for food with the other tank mates. So far no signs of aggression against or by them.

Larger one is actually 100% albino too, while the smaller is leucistic.

Day 131: I've determined one is a true albino while the other is leucistic.

Here's a couple gifs of the albino one eating massivore and dirtying up my tank.

Day 138: took some decent measurements.

Leucistic 8"


Albino 9"

Day 165:

Growth has slowed dramatically. I think it's due in part to size and now having competition for food. Both are still around 9"

They also decided to start digging behind my biggest Amazon sword. They're proud of what they've done.
