This is quite interesting!

Hello,

Is it ok to keep an Oscar:
a) on it's own, i.e. the only fish in the tank?
b) with other fish, but no other Oscars?

I read that they are a pairing fish, but how important is this to their
well-being really?

Regards,
Richard.

The answers are yes and yes. The only problem arises if you have an
Oscar that is used to having another Oscar in his/her aquarium; in
that instance, for his/her health, you'll need to kep two or more;
however, from juvi it's OK to keep a single fish. --Mark
