^^^ And thats the kind of reaction a troll wants/enjoy.
Lets just calmly and patiently help him. If he is geniune, he would take those advice seriously. If he is a troll, by not getting the angry responses as he wanted, he would just quit this forum or if he continue trolling, the mods would ban him.

To OP,
I would recommand at least a 250~300 gallon for 4 oscars. 400g would be better if you can afford.
And others have claimed, oscars grow like weeds, so you might wanna consider getting the tank now.
In a 10g, the waste produced by 4 oscars would cause nitrate levels to hit off the chart very quickly as there is not much volume to dilute the amount of waste they generate. Dilution is the solution to pollution.
You can do large water change everyday but it would only stress out the fish.
Best advice is still to get a larger tank and do small, frequent water changes.
As for food, I agree with ExoticGREEN, no live feeders. I've seen people dropping rats into the tank and the oscar would just tear it apart, that is just cruel IMO. And the risk of parasites and disease, I won't take the chances if you love your oscars.
No live feeders, thats the main things. Oscars ain't really picky eaters (more like pigs) and would readily munch on anything you drop in the tank, Pellets, mealworms, crickets, frozen, freeze-dried, you named it.
