I must really get my housekeeper to scold & warn me whenever I step into the fish shop and see baby Oscars.

My heart literally goes 15, 16 hor

trust me when i say - i rather the ex owner dun dump it at all.
I'll rather not have to save a fish. Or any abandoned animal at all.

Btw, can anyone throw their stingrays away at my void deck? Or Gars? Or a tankful of 1 ft bichirs?

Or... red tail catfish - the hub will like tat.

let it get used to the surrounding and calm down.
it'll soon be feeding.
among the arowanas I encountered in this hobby, silvers are the easiest to pellet train.

silvers are very active and strong jumpers. make sure your tank is well secured with strong covers.

Am leaving the fish alone for now. It's just.. so... jitterish. Throw food in, dio chua. open cabinet, dio chua. Dio chua = get spooked and start rushin ard the tank and banging itself.

if it decides to suicide, I also cannot help/save it

My nxt project will add a rainbar to the tank. Shd discourage any jumpers and increase dissolved O2.

p.s. did i ever mention i'm not a huge fan of aros in general? Just tat i cannot let one die knowing i cld have saved it. And I've never gotten rid of any fish in my tank unless de-com or aggressive or dies. So long as can live together peacefully, it stays.

Sidenote : the Hub likes. and unless it does anything stupid, this will be perm home.
