I decided to have a go at adding these 2; 3" "snow" oscars to my poly tank thinking they would be big enough.
Well I came home last night to find myself 1 short and the pround owner of a endlicheri that was too fat to move!

What a fatty. That's a nice looking endli with mutated patterns.
Thanks for the comment. I have another that has the more camo looking patern.
Thanks for the comments and sympathies everyone.
Not saying it was all right for it to happen but it was more of a please the girlfriend buy. Not really into oscars.

Gosh dangit. The one in the pic above this post had ahold of my L14 and I had to save the guy.
He's in my 29g now.
I don't get it they let it live peacefully in the tank for a week then try to eat it.:screwy:
I just need to start using my head when it comes to tankmates.
 
What are snow oscars, I mean do you have any pics of them?

Keep a closer eye on them cuz you just never know when they want to eat. I had this happen to me many times and lost a lot of fish. I bought 18 endlis to begin my endli collection and 3 got eaten as some of the endli grew bigger. Then another three got eaten by a congicus when I introduce the bigger endli to a bigger tank. Talking about an expensive live and learn lesson.

You're the only one with the same story like that. Got 50x 2-3 inches midas cichlids as feeders. They didn't bother the smallest one that hid itself behind the overflow of the filter. I later took it out and separated it to let it grow. It grew to 8" and I moved it back to the main tank to live as I wanted to keep it. 3 weeks later during lights off they death rolled it. The next morning I only found the remaining chewed up head.
