Default Oscar without Heater?

"Jonathan Wood" wrote in message link.net...
Does anyone have experience keeping an Oscar without a heater?

I have some local fish in two tanks (50g and 125g) and the water is room
temperature (around 64). I was wondering if an Oscar could live in such a
tank.

No they cannot. Oscars are TROPICAL fish NOT coldwater fish. That
would be like putting you in the Artic without a coat. Break down with
yourself and buy a heater! The water should be anywhere from 75 F to
82 F.
