What are snow oscars, I mean do you have any pics of them?

Here's some pics of the one I have left. The one he ate was a lil bigger.
It seems when I have "eatables" in the tank they eat the bigger ones first, atleast thats what they did with my Pbass and attempted with these oscars.

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.

Yeah. Like I said I'm going to be more cautious with tankmates. I took out my 4" flagtail also. It's just that I'm getting sick of having so many tanks up and running cause I have 1 tank that will only have 1 fish in it(fahaka) and another tank with my "eatables" that I hope to add to the main tank. I just need to be more patient.

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.

I can't say that I'm sorry to hear that cause I never respected RD's ever since I let my buddy baby sit an oscar I had about 10 years ago. He called me an hour later and told me I better come get him and when I did I had one very beat up ugly looking oscar.
I'd love to see a u8nderwater video of these guys eating in the wild.

They ripped off my tigs trailer once.
I wish they didn't cause with it healed and growing now it would be about 6-8 inches instead of 3".
