Why is one of my oscars not growing?

Question

I have three young oscars in a 200 gl tank, 1 tiger, 1 red, 1 albino tiger .. i bought them a few weeks ago and they were all the same length..about an inch long .. now a few weeks later the red and albino oscars are close to 3 inches but the tiger is still an inch long ... im feeding them on cichlid pellets, cichlid flake and frozen blood worms ... dose anyone know why the one might not be growing ? .. hes to small for pellets but happly eats flake

Answer 1

First off thank you for housing oscars int the perfect size for them...finally someone who has done research...now the dominate oscar may be able to give off hormones that keep the weaker, less dominate ones from growing larger, as long as they eat and are healthy I wouldn't worry about it, they may grow in different stages as well.
