My 4 year old 13" Oscar. He died last year after I left the tank lid open and he jumped out over night.
SHOW OFF YOUR BIG OSCARS :)

Oscars can be really cool... They're definately the Wettest Pet you can get out of all the cichlids with their intelligence and personality. You can actually see them figuring things out in their eye movements and behaviour.

My Oscars is about 5-7 years old, maybe older, maybe younger.
He was a rescue, he came into my lfs with bad fin rot, hith, fungus, missing scales etc..The previous owner kept him for a few years in a 55 and was severely neglected. I paid $8 for him. I nursed him back to health In a 40b.
He's in a bare bottom 75g with 2 406's and a pair of whisper 60's on it. His only roommate is a 6" JD. They get along great. They get 70% water changes every week, sometimes twice a week if I have time.
I suspect he's stunted. He's approx 10-11" and doesn't seem to be growing much anymore despite his nice new home. He was maybe 8 or 9" when I got him like 3 years ago. You can tell the proportions of his body are sort of "squished" I doubt he'll ever be a 14" monster

Bought mine from pets at home not looking in great condition, 2 years later looking like a true brute in a 200 gallon with a Lima shovel nose and a pair of dovii. Will be moving into his new 100 gallon very soon! Approx 12". 
just got this albino today. 9 inches steady fella. i particularly like its red spots which cover the whole body including tail n fins n gills.
Here's mine. Had him for almost 2 years. He's going into a much nicer 180 very soon
