Correction, I HAVE owned oscar's. Oscar's were the first fish i've ever owned. they got me into fish keeping. Recently do to a power failure, my 13" red oscar and "Blood red' oscar died. *sob*.
ive never had an oscar but ive been bitten by an adult albino. managed to draw a little blood because it ripped a bit of skin off the side of my fingernail. i would consider getting one once my pond is heated, just as well it doesn't eat my juvie koi. they (koi) grow just as fast as oscars anyways.
