When Do the Tiger Barbs Become Snacks?

[Bud8Fan]

I have a 300 gallon tank that was cycled with Tiger Barbs this February then slowly stocked with the fish in my Sig line. The Oscars are approaching 6 months old.

There are currently 17 Tiger Barbs living peacefully in this tank with the Oscars.

Consider this a sort of a "pool" as to when the Oscars figure out that the Tiger Barbs would make a tasty snack.

The winner receives a spot on the MFK Sticker Waiting List.

Whenever you tell us how big the oscars are.

(6 months.......must be way too small to eat adult tiger barbs)

The White Tiger Oscar is approaching 6 inches while the Red Tiger is approaching 5 inches.

Adult tiger barbs are fat. just wait a bit.

The Tiger Barbs average about 1.5 inches and are still pretty slender. There are a couple that have gotten a beer belly.

AS long as the tiger barbs stay healthy and swims fast and all, and doesnt get stuck on a corner, or rock or woood, ect, or gets sick and starts to limp lol.. they should be able to live i think =D then again theres always a chance to be eaten =^___^= mm m yummy =D

I have some tigers barbs with a giant australian Blue crayfish, so far itz been 4 months and he hasnt cuaght one yet lol.

I hope ur barbs live and not get eaten lol. =^_^=

A lot depends on how much, how often and what you feed the oscars. But, in time, all little fish shall become poop.
