I've got an oscar that just outsmarted me..

I have an albino oscar in my tank that's bigger than all the other fish, so he capitalized on all the food. I thought I'd help by getting some cubed bloodworms and holding it in the tank while the fishes pick at it. It's been working for 2 days, but the albino got smart and attacked my knuckles. Caught me by surprise and I let the cube go, only for the albino to gulp up.

Grah! Now he thinks he's in charge.

Oh no!

I hope the other fish are not small enough to fit in the Oscars mouth or he will gulp them next.

Nah. They're near the same size, he just edges them out.

[acronym:dd50a060d2="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:dd50a060d2], next thing you know, your oscar will lie patiently on the bottom of the tank while you're in the kitchen fixing a sandwich. Just as you pass the tank, he will shoot up to the surface and make a loud splash. Startled by the noise and water, you will drop the sandwich into the tank.
