Hello,
i am keeping an Albino Oscar in a 90g Tank at the moment. I got him 8 months ago. Since then he didnt seem to grow at all. His diet consists out of 4 varients of flakes/pallets, frozen food (redworms and some bugs i dont know the name of) + some vegetables and mealworms here and there to spice it up for him. i feed him once 1 per day with a break- day every 3-4 days. I know i should feed him smaller potions throughout the day but he always seems to be getting a very large belly because of it and im worried i will overfeed by doing so. I do a 50% water change every week. He only has a very large piece of wood in the center of the Aquarium. First i thought there wouldnt be enough hiding spices so i put in some flower pots but he doesnt use them at all resulting in me taking them out again.
I did a 2 month cycle before adding him. It may be important that i got him from a fish store which kept him in a tank about 30 gallons with around 10-12 other oscars which were about 3-5 inches. I dont know is age so cant tell how long he has been living in mentioned fish store tank.
Is there anything I can do to help him ? Also i planned on only keeping him as the main fish in the aquarium. But with is stunned growth i would like to add tank mates because the aquarium is actually very empty with just him. Should i have anything in mind with him being still so small ( 2-3 inches) ?
