albyoscar i wasnt attacking you i was just stating a fact, that a 12 inch fish should never regardless of activity be kept in a 55 gal tank. i completely agree with you that albino's and tigers grow at the same speed. coloration makes no difference on speed of growth or max size. and a full grown 12" oscar in a 55 is a stunted growth oscar in a tank to small for it.
Only should have 6 in a 125 with massive filteration. just a pair of hob 30-60 aqua tech filters aint gonna cut it for 6 full grown oscars. not attacking you haynchinook just adding to what you said because anyone wanting to keep an oscar in a 29 gal tank will prolly need to have that clarified.
i have a rescued Oscar that is 3 years old and only 7 1/2 inches long counting his tail fin. he was kept in a 29 gallon tank for 3 years. ridiculous what some people are willing to put a fish through. would you like to live in your closet? how about a prison cell thats a little bit larger. didnt think so. why would you do that to a fish for your personal enjoyment? let the fish live a long and healthy life with someone who has adequate tank space for it.
