oscar growth?

[Twicksisted]

Oh Twisted what kind of pike cichlid is that in your pic is that a real species? That color is amazing!

That was my channa ornatipinnis... unfortunately it diddnt survive, was wild caught and shipped from burma
Was a real beauty!

even with just one small feeding a day an oscar should still grow faster than that, there is obviously something else going on here that is keeping it from growing for some reason, maybe because he was in such bad shape his body was putting his resources towards healing instead of growing and now that hes healed he may start growing again? i know you say his water is perfect but what exactly are your nitrates?
