Aquarium Advice Regular
Okay, so, my neighbor is moving - and she comes hobbling over with a fish and tells me to take it or its going down the toilet. Well, obviously I took it. Have no idea what it is, but it is in my tank now.
Attached is a picture. Hope it gets along with my oscar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any help would be appreciated. Need to find out what this sucker eats. It is about 4 1/2 inches. Stays at the top mostly. Comes up for air. Seems rather peaceful, except I belive its a carnivore due to its mouth and what I believe I saw lots of sharp teeth.
The oscars are thrilled to death - they have something else to investigate in the tank. They are scared of it but at the same time have nipped it a few times. Typical oscar behavior in my book. They were biting on string the other night. No harm done though, the guy just scoots away but lets them come right back up to him. My oscars are only 3" so I don't believe they will kill it. Who knows. They have pretty much left him alone after about 15 minutes. Occasionally they will get excited again if he swims by. I guess this is better than the toilet alternative, huh?
He won't eat flakes, ciclid pellets, wafers, worms, bugs, or tuna. Thats all I've got for tonight - he just ignores it. Cooking up a batch of brine shrimp to try tomorrow though. He's got to be a carnivore.
