I've had Oscars grow from that size to ten inches within a year - IMO
you
shouldn't get one unless you'll be getting a 90g+ tank within the next
3/4
months - if well kept they grow fast. If you can't keep them well don't
keep
them at all.



Agreed..also I think the OP has oft-stated that he is on a fixed
income..this may or
may not put the kibosh on purchasing
a large-ish tank to accommodate an Oscar. Let alone the upkeep and
associated costs.

PS Netmax..thanks for the heads-up on my syntax..working on trying to
figure out what changed..
not deliberate in any case.
