wow.....whatz the odds for something like that.....7 months missing and in perfect health with a nearly 7 inch growth rate....absolutely amazing....congrats oddball, on finding him. Discovering him must have made your day rite?

Could they ingest substrate for nutrition? Sift Detritus?

Were you missing any other fishes he could of ate?

just wondering how he grew..

The tank had gone unused and unfiltered for over a year. There may have been some live tubifex and/or mosquito larvae for him to feed on. Other than that, the tank was under the racks and away from the chance of receiving random pellet drops. This is all supposition, of course.
 
Amazing. So what the hell do you think he was eating Oddball?

Obviously to just about survive, and not grow much, he could have lived on very little.

But to grow 7 inches? :D He must have been eating regularly.

what are the odds of this... well atleast its alive and still good....really weird how this all worked out.
