If petrol costs $1.30 per litre and has been increasing at a steady rate of 1c/day, then how old is my oscar? haha! > ok ok... > > If petrol costs $1.30 per litre and has been increasing at a steady > rate of 1c/day, then how old is my oscar? haha! Maybe 7 or 8 months old.  Signaturewww.NetMax.tk Really! Wow he's older than I thought. Can't wait til he gets bigger... > Really! Wow he's older than I thought. Can't wait til he gets > bigger... That'll change when you start noticing their food bill ;~) At least their appetite includes alternate foods (worms, crickets, seafood, steak etc). Signaturewww.NetMax.tk They don't cost more than dogs do they? > They don't cost more than dogs do they? That would depend on the size of your dog, and who you decide to pamper the most ;~). There are frozen specialty discus foods which Oscars would do flips for, but would have many of us in a poorhouse in no time. Signaturewww.NetMax.tk wow! I have decided I like discus, but I don't think I'll attempt discus until I retire - and I'm only 25 now, so I've got a while to learn about them properly. I hear they are particularly touchy fish. And expensive. So I'll keep a few oscars in the meantime, then I might try discus. > wow!

Discus are not as fragile as their reputation might suggest, but they are not for beginners either (too expensive to make mistakes with). In any case, they sure eat a lot less than Oscars ;~). Signaturewww.NetMax.tk Hey netmax, I notice you said you can feed oscars steak. Well I recently made the mistake of buying beef patties for hamburgers. They weren't very nice. Could I feed frozen chunks of the patty to my oscar? Or is the fat content too high for him? Thanks! > Hey netmax, I notice you said you can feed oscars steak.

Signaturewww.NetMax.tk discus arnt that much harder to care for then oscars, just make sure their water is good and they dont get stressed... boy howdy do they get stressed lol. http://www.cichlidfish.com/portal/forums |
