DP> One of my favorite fish is a Tiger Oscar. So much personality and   
    DP> fun. Time to get a couple more maybe.....   
      
   how big is your oscar? how big is your tank? these guys can live for a long   
   time and get really huge... as large as a 12 inch frying pan if the tank is   
   large enough and they don't have any health problems... that means a 50 gallon   
   or larger tank for just one... i had one albino oscar in a 30 gallon tank for   
   ~10 years and she was definitely sandwich sized when she died due to a bladder   
   problem i found i could have maybe handled by feeding her squashed english   
   peas... so two sandwiches... really nice fish...   
      
   her companion was a pleco... both were bought at the same time... the oscar   
   was maybe the size of a 50cent piece and the pleco was maybe a little longer   
   than the diameter of a 50cent piece... after oscar died, i kept the pleco for   
   several more years... when i sold it, it was 2 inches across the eyes and 19   
   inches long from nose to tail... i think it was 15 or 18 years old at the time
