[lchesterl]

Ok I've decided to raise 2 Ocscars but dont know anything about them besides that their arresive. Anyways im planning on getting a 10g tank with a filter and a heater. I'm not going to decorate the tank its gonna be bare bottom its ok like that right? Will I need a light and a hood? Im short on money so yea. what kind of filter should I get? Is it possible to put a flower horn with an oscar? or a siciled? please give me any tips on raising oscars. Oh yea im gonna get an Albino Oscar and those Brown Oscars with orange strips on them. What kind of food do they eat? and when do I change the water?

WHOA WHOA WHOA JUST A SECOND! You CANNOT PUT OSCARS IN A 10 GALLON! Without a chance will they live happily. They are massive fish, and even if you put them in while they are small, it is a crime to do so! The biggest that you can put in a 10 gallon are probably tetras or livebearers... The truth is, oscars need much more water, probably at least 50 gallons for two...

Before you ever think of buying a fish research your fish and the cycling of a tank first, as it will all end in tears.
No way can one oscar go in that tank size.
