One of my favorite fish is a Tiger Oscar. So much personality and
fun. Time to get a couple more maybe.....
how big is your oscar? how big is your tank? these guys can live for a long time and get really huge... as large as a 12 inch frying pan if the tank is large enough and they don't have any health problems... that means a 50 gallon or larger tank for just one... i had one albino oscar in a 30 gallon tank for ~10 years and she was definitely sandwich sized when she died due to a bladder problem i found i could have maybe handled by feeding her squashed english peas... so two sandwiches... really nice fish...
her companion was a pleco... both were bought at the same time... the oscar was
maybe the size of a 50cent piece and the pleco was maybe a little longer than the diameter of a 50cent piece... after oscar died, i kept the pleco for several more years... when i sold it, it was 2 inches across the eyes and 19 inches long from nose to tail... i think it was 15 or 18 years old at the time :)
