i have recently got 2 albino tiger oscars, and im thinking of getting another tiger oscar to add some colour to the tank, do i need to add another 2 oscars as they tend to form pairs or will adding one be okay? also is there a way to tell the sex of an oscar and if so how do you do it? one is around 4 to 5 inches and the other is around 3 to 4 inches. ive started feeding them live food such as gold fish and giant meal worms and just want to know how much they should be eating, if they should be eating them at all, ive limited them to a goldfish every once in a while as the tank gets very messy and one meal worm each a day or every other day, and they seem fine, the reason im only giving them one a day is becase ive noticed that they dont seem to be able to digest the meal worms shell. but they love them and quickly snatch them up. the fish are very responsive and ive taught them that when i tap on the tank or shake there food its feeding time, i also feed them cichlid pelets twice a day with the meal worm inbetween. any hints or tips to the questions ive had please tell me, im a novice in some respects and im always looking for new knowledge as keeping fish is a strong hobby of mine, thanks
 
The size of the tank will determine if you should add more fish? No way to sex oscars just by looking at them they are monomorphic, just have to watch and see if they lay eggs.
