Minimum 5x2x2 imo and there is never a maximum size for any fish!

i think he's a little late to the party.


oscars are great fish, they have a great personality, and they were the beginning of monster fish keeping back in the day when all anyone had was oscars.

I hate oscars, id take a shotgun to my tank and kill him right now but i dont have one. A shotgun no but a oscar yes ill never buy another oscar id rather crap ninja stars then have another oscar die by my hands.

are you saying you hate oscars because you had one and it died?

oscars are great! very personable fish dont overfeed them and they wont be as messy.

i only feed my oscars every 4 days and they rarely make my tank messy. i like my oscars because of thier personality. some many people say these fish are soo agressive but i think if you put em in the right tank size they'll be verry passive.

oscars are not aggro. they are really mild mannered, big goofy fish. they do freak my wife out when they jump out of the water when she feeds them. they get her every time, kind of a given since she is deathly afraid of fish.

In my experience they are not mild mannered they are very aggressive.
