OK, my 4" albino tiger is a pig, surprise, surprise. He's finally big enough to accept feeders now, and so for a treat I got 10 little goldies. I thought maybe they might be too big for him, but he ate 3 before I stopped hoping the aro would get one, and I stopped dropping them in. However, now the oscar is eyeing every other fish in the tank, clearly sizing it up to see if he can fit it down his gullet. He ate one of my mollies (don't worry, I expected that from the beginning... and actually he only ate PART of the molly, he killed it and chewed on it for a while, but I found half of it stuck to the filter uptake), but he's eyeing my loaches, and has been notably more agressive to the aro in the tank, as well as the 5" goldie who WAS a feeder at one point, but now seems to be the tank punching bag.
Just thought I'd share - I'm going back to bloodworms, krill, and pellets from now on I think. Watching an oscar strike a fleeing feeder is interesting in a primal way, but it's not worth the fretting that he'll start killing off his tank mates.
