Hi everybody, it's been about three months since I bought my little tiger oscar. He hasn't grown very much, but she/he is a pretty cool little fish. Is there some sort of product to suck the water up the siphon hose. Are there ways to get him to grow quicker. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to get some little fish going to him, but i'm 15 and unemployed. I keep my tank at 72F is that about right

Hi Fishfancier,

You can feed your fish household food also. Mine loved shrimp meant for human consumption. This way when your mom buys shrimp you can steal some from the bag Image
Things high in protein will make them grow fast.
