  • WTB: Oscars........please read!

    Even before I had tanks, I was stopping at all the fish shops I ran into looking for small Oscars but none could be found. I'm wanting like an inch or inch and a half. Anyone out there raise them or know where I can order them that size? Need in about three weeks.

    When you went to Mike did you look at his ?  Now remember that a 1-1.5" Oscar is about a 2-3 month old fish and a 3-4" is about 6-7 month old..  Please remember Oscar's grow quick.. between 1/2" to 1" a month, until they reach 9-12"

      Yea, I smudged up the front of several tanks with my nose but his appeared to be 2-3". I know they grow quick.....that's the reason I'm looking to get the smallest ones I can to start.

          When I had my pet shop in FL back in the early 70s, I had a 100 gallon tank with nothing but Oscars in it. When I set it up, I was able to get 1" Oscars (all colors). As they grew, I transfered some to other tanks or sold them. I just like the 'little' ones.

                The fish store by Almeda Mall usually has tiny oscars (all varieties). I don't remember the name though...

                Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
                Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

                    Tropical fish depot closed down unless you are referring to the Petco that is across the street from the now closed TFD.

                    There's All about fish right past almeda but they are mainly SW...might call and ask, their info is posted in the LFS thread in the announcement section

                    Then there's Megan's tropical emporium but that's on fuqua.

                        Usually Petsmart has little ones.  Doesn't someone on here work at the one in The Woodlands?

                              Can someone tell me where this Mall is? I live north by Lake Conroe so I am not familiar with the Houston area.
