[cobby]

Yer thats what im thinking Mate

How fast do the tiger oscars grow?

Regards Cobby

[benckie]

realy quick on hi protein and live food they will grow from a few inches to 10 to 12 inches in a year

[Iamsam]

about an inch a month

[cobby]

How big do the Get?

How many would you put in a tank that size?

Regards Cobby

[cobby]

Just a thought

could they be feed live salt water fish ?

Ie Herring& garfish?

Regards Cobby

[benckie]

yes they love it i used to feed mine live or dead salt water fish and my fronties as well they love it and so do my tb,s

[Iamsam]

15 inch is a good size they get bigger but most of mine have seemed to be about 15 inches
in that tank i would put 3 or 4
i think that feeding them live saltwater fish shouldnt be a problem would probable be better (no desiese transfer)
at AAA at the moment we have a nice male/female pair for only 100$

give pete (madasa) a ring cobby :wink: mine normaly topedout around 35 cm but i sold two 35cm to a bloke and they are still growing 8O

[cobby]

Thats Easy

I do a lot of fishing
Just take a bucket and air stone

Herring stay alive for a long time

Last year fishing on the FADS for dolphin fish

We used live Herring when you put them in the water they turn albino 8O

The dolphin fish go eletric blue

the s*** hits the fan dolphin fish 100 herring 0

Fisherman 1 dolphin fish 5 Good fun

Regards Cobby

[benckie]

yeah its funny how they change colour

we use them as live bait and down here we always catch lots of gars for bait

i find the best way to catch gars (salt water) is to vomit over the side of the boat the gars go nuts on the stuff the realy go for doritos once you have spewed them out your nose :oops:

[cobby]

Garfish if you burley they will come

My mate has the state record for a storm garde

Took it from my outher Mate 8O

It went 4KG spot on
