Oh Bloody RED!!
- Thread starter RockyGoldy
- Start date
The reds of your oscars reminded me of an article of only two months ago in TFH (March 2005) about someone (a physicist and engineer, Margie Luce, who keeps 35 aquaria!) who unintentionally fed bloodworms to her 15 year-old pleco, and all the fin edges of the fish became red! (I've been trying to do it with my 4 and a half year old pleco without success).
... I don't mean to go off topic, so back to Mr. and Ms Oscar: In that same issue there is a nice article on who else but "The Amazing Oscar" (by Wayne Leibel); it summarizes an article "On the Reproduction in Captivity of the Oscar" (Amazonia X, 1989): If you have a pair, you could expect sex and babies for almost 10 years from those folks, the frequency of sterility in the study being only 1-2 %. Leibel calculates the number of progeny to be almost 40,000 per pair. May you be so lucky! You could give one free bloody red to every single member of this site! I think I should get the first one, however!
