We're see if the survive, I only bought them because we moved and I sold everything of I , redone tank and took my then 1 year old daughter to pet shop and she chose them when they were about an inch and a half long, so we called them Sid and Nancy ,it was my daughter now 3 saw the eggs first she said dad Sid has done white poo
Grats. most aquarium oscar keepers do not get to wiggler stage. lotsa eggs but thats it. getting a sponge filter on the intakes a must or you will find the free swimmers in your filters. and the fry will feed off the filters. I use a electric coffee grinder to powder up the pellets to feed them. they will rise like a large cloud in your aquarium. wonderful thing to watch.
Well there are still a lot left , been pushed under stone,if you can make out the gray mass they seem OK, sorry about rubbishy pics but I don't want to clean glass
Cheers, more luck than judgement , been lots of helpful suggestions from everyone ,I don't think there far off the fry stage, my wife's got a really expensive machine that grind, crushes and does everything, I'm going to use that to grind pellets, it not like she has any use for it , had it 6 years and still in box
There were more of the white ones but they've been eating them since they shoved the wrigglers under the rock
If I get a few that survive I'd be happy , have people ready to take them and I'd keep a couple for my kids to have in another tank, someone told me they spawn every few weeks is that true if so and this first lot was successful without me doing anything what do you with hundreds of oscars, I only have so many friend s and a couple of tanks
fish food, if you leave long enof the oscars well eat them, even if you sell for store credit to a LFS after first spawn market flooded. if you want to raise a few, I do suggest getting them into a nursery tank after a week or 2 as free swimmers, and ya, cycle around 3 to 4 weeks before they do it again.
