Walmart Oscars

[bugfrag]

whats up community!
I just bought two white and black oscars from walmart.
they are placed in a 10 gallon tank.
what can i expect from these fish?

How bigare they 3 inches?...they are already to big for that tank

yeah like 3 inches but they have alot of room no decor so they have alot of space can you plz tell me what to expect

yep agree with statement above from rayshot1
+ why would you buy from walmart.Walmarts prices are off the roof
Oscars get about to 12inch+ if in a good healthy enviorment and their bioload is extreme and plus do you have another tank for them because thats way to small for life

haha yeah 11 dollars for each but either of you have helped me sooo...

in a 10 gallon tank? you can expect them to die.

these are incredibly messy fish that can easily grow upwards of an inch a month in the right conditions, one alone needs a minimum of about 75 gallons full grown

You can expect them to out grow your tank and/or die. Are you planning on moving them to a bigger tank?

They get big fast so you better set one up right now and let it cycle.
