Fish continue to grow through out their lives albeit very slowly once they reach a certin size, so an 18" O would be pretty old I would imagin. I think 18" is about the upper size limit but who knows what lurks out there. I mentioned a couple of months ago about putting a fish with the potential of reaching 18' into a tank I thought was too small and the OP tried to jump all over me about over exagerating the max size of an Oscar.

haha well now he knows how big they can get.. well he'll know if he sees this post haha

I think 18 and 20 inches is on the rare end. Just like 7ft people.

The Steinart Aqaurium in San Francisco one had an Oscar 20+ inches.......With tail, It definately reached 2 foot.........
