I think most people that hate Oscars hate them because they are the common man's "monster fish" and because they have a reputation for aggression that far exceeds reality.

I don't like them because they are messy, grow to fast, and tend towards hole in head syndrom. I was given a small one when I was ten by someone who didn't know better and it wrecked my cobraskin firetail guppy strain. They are large, trainable fish that are fine for some people. Not for me.
