white o's hiding all the time

[bunty82]

Hi, well i got 6 o's
paired of copper black
tiger black
albino tiger.
Now the problem is all other are growing in a rapid pace. but the whiteees are
slow growing and stay hidden most of the time( rather all the time)
i see some fight marks. All right just now i saw my white tigers with bruise markings.
So i immediately transferred the 4 blackies to another tank for the time being.
till the white grows to a level when they can fight with them( as the whities are smaller in size than the blacks.).
my question is will this fight continue later also or they will live happily.

The bruise marking on the albinos is normal. I noticed in the past when I kept them that it comes and goes sometimes. Even when the fish was kept alone. As for the fighting.. Cant say for sure, depends on the temperment of each individual. You have 6, what size tank?

 

[bunty82]

5 footx2footx2foot tank.
fish size is 3.5inches blacks and 3 inchise whites

Thats a lot of Oscars for that size tank.

The size is okay for now but wont last too long with 6 growing Os.

i got plenty questions in mind.like
someone told me that white o's and black o's dont go along , as black are aggressive as compared to white O's.is that true ?
2.if i keep 1 pair white tiger oscar and white red oscars(looks more of a oranged body oscar)
will these 4 O's go in my tank.
3. someone told me that white O's develope black patches sometimes.what is that is that cos of bad water parameter or bad diet.
please reply
cos in my mind its going like get rid of the black and copper(black) O's and keep white pair and get a white orange pair in the tank.

I wouldn't pick 2 unless your keeping a breeding pair, I ended up with a dead oscar when i had two in a tank. I have done 3 before (2 albinos and 1 red), they were alright until two of them started to breed. I say either keep one or go with 3 and make sure they don't breed.
