should i be able to vote repeatedly? maybe once for each oscar in my oscar based community? sounds viable to me. currently have 7 12" oscars and 1 3" oscar living together in a community with others.
 
umm i should say again can i vote multiple,should have added that in the vote section,, i have 2 that are 12+inches and 2 that are 4-5inches
they are all tigers
 
I used to own a red that was over 12 a long time ago. I try to stay away from them now because they eat too much

I hear people say that Oscar eat too much and are messy eaters... but my 11" Trimac eats more than either of my 12"+ Oscars... and when feeding them NLS none of them blow chunks out of their gills like they did when I fed them Hikari pellets...

I think Oscars get a bad rap!

Here is a "BlueBerry" Oscar at 5+ years old... the only visable sign of dying are the areas that look 'bruised'...

It took a lot of work to get and keep him healthy a few years back... the last few years he's been like any other Oscar... I expect him to die young due to being dyed when younger...
 
I wouldn't have a fish room without at least one Oscar in it.

I currently have two I raised from babies.
 
I have two Tiger Oscars, one is 1 3/4 in. and the other is 2 1/4 in. I bought them from www.Liveaquaria.com, for $5 each. They came in perfect condition. You should by mutiple fish though because you have to order more then $30. The Shiping was awsome. They were packed in a card board box, a cooler, in small bags that are half black so they stay calm, free catolag and a step by step guied on how to introuduce your new fish into your aquarium.
 
never owned one on purpose, just ones that have came with tanks. Didn't keep them so I don't consider them pets. I respect them as a fish in general because I know how cool they can be, I've just always hated them. The only time you'd ever catch me buying one is if it was 100% one color and I knew it was going to stay that way.
 
never owned an oscar, no plans to get one anytime in the future, even though there are some great looking ones out there, if i was to pick one up it'd have to be a tiger oscar, even an albino tiger :)
