gettign an oscar need help?

[ChrisH]

Hi i am getting a small oscar for my tank so i can raise it up befo ei move it to a bigger tank i know this si already overstockin the tnak just by puttin an oscar in there so to make it a lil better iw anna take my convict out because hes really aggressive to my jd and anythign else, i only have a 15 gallon and a 10 gallon runnign tha i can put him in i know this si tiny espiecially for a 4 inch convict but i dotn knwo what else to do i feel bad giving him away
also i cant really pout him in either because the 15 holds mollies and zebra danios and the 10 holds convict fry.

firstly how long til you plan to get the bigger tnk cos oscars grow real quick,had mine at 2inches and by 6months they were 9 and 10 inches

yeah i say wait till you have at least a 75 gallon tank before getting an oscar. mine grew from 2" to 10" in less than a year prob around 9 mouths, yeah they grow quick. i had mine in a 75 and my mom yelled at me saying it was cramped, so i got a 150
