jakeoman Fingerling Posts: 39 Kudos: 40 Votes: 3 Registered: 01-Oct-2004	Ok i have a Juvinille Oscar, and currently he is sharing the tank with a bunch of Zebra Danios (Which i used to cycle the tank). How Long Am I able to keep the Danios in the tank with the Oscar before he will start eating them Up?
