Walmart Oscars

Be expecting the oscars to be 12"...that if they are still alive.

But may I suggest some advice? Do research on the fish, fish care or aquarium before buy them.

Hey, heres a suggestion. Take a bowl, fill it with water, and add a fake fish in it. You don't need to feed it or change the water. WIN WIN! I say that in the most serious way possible.

Very well said. Can't go wrong with that advice. That's what I did and me and my fishes are happy.

I'd like to point out that you haven't responded to the POSITIVE advice me and a couple others have given you.

Do you even want help?

ummmmm thanks when they get bigger i will update the tank

thats hilarious!!

dude! when they get bigger? you mean like tomorrow? do you have any clue how fast these guys grow? mines in a 200 gallon tank, started off in a 55. i got him at less than 2", he grew to over 7" in only 3 months. hes currently pushing 8" and hes not slowing down soon. i wouldnt even put oscar fry in a 10g.

seriously, you shouldve done the research first man

just click on the link on my signature that says "my pride and joy" and see how oscars can really get. and keep in mind that mine isnt even 6 months old yet and is only half the size of a full grown oscar.

dont get us wrong, oscars are amazing fish to own, but its really not fair to them to keep them in that tank. if you have a heart, do the right thing and either buy the larger tank or give them to someone who can take care of them properly. most people say that 75-125g is enough, but in all honested id NEVER keep my oscar in anything less than my 200 gallon. the bigger the space, the stronger their personalities become and the more fun they are to watch.

btw, people here may seem rude, but none of us really are. we just enjoy beating up on the new guys to break them in lol we've all been through it man, dont let it get to you.

and to everyone replying to this or reading it, yeah this guy clearly made a mistake. but im pretty sure all of us have done something this foolish, if not worse. its all redemable, just do the right thing for the fish, ok?

better still get an aquarium dvd

In all seriousness all of these people are right. The water is going to get real merky real fast. I would recommend following the advice on here about upgrading and for now do water changes 3-4 times a week if not more for that 10 gallon.
