dont know if this has been done yet, i tried searching, couldnt find it. but i thought it would be cool to make a picture diary of my albino oscars growth rate. may not very interesting for some members here but for newbies and people searching for info on their growth rates i thought it might be helpful.

So to start i got this oscar November 7th 2009 at 2-3"

day i got him/her

Yeah its stomach looks really filled. What do you feed it?

well lucky for him hes in a tank with a two small cichla so he gets the scraps the cichla refuse to eat and he sneeks in one of the cichlas guppies now and then.
 
this guy is growing rediculously fast imo. I got him nov 7th at 2 1/2" it is now less than a month later and he was just measured today...


4 1/2":nilly::nilly::nilly:
 
If fed well, yes. After the 7" mark they tend to slow down to around one inch per month, until about 12". It's very slow after that.
 
well this guy (all my fish) gets krill, mysis, bloodworms, silver sides, shrimp and special pellets with growth formula and special flakes. ........daily o_O .............. 3 times a day .........and lots of water changes.....so yeah i can see why he might grow fast, hes leaving everyone else in the dust though.
