In case you were wondering how I’ve been able to fish live oama in the Winter, there are a few oama around in some select places, and I’ve been keeping them alive in my tubs at home. They don’t have to worry about getting mauled by predators and I try to feed them 3 times a day. Their tub gets scrubbed once a week, and they’re treated for parasites upon entry so they don’t infect their tank mates.
They normally do well for the first month, then after that, maybe 1/4 begin to slowly lose weight. I try to use the skinny ones before they get too weak since the papio don’t seem to like them when they’re all head and no body.
Not too bad a life and my deal with them is that if I take them out fishing and end up not using them, I set them free.
