In a suitable sized tank they will grow about an inch per month till they get to around 8-12inches (slightly smaller if female) and then grow at a slower rate until they reach maximum size

 

[Hawkins]

what size is the tank?
is it long or high?

 

[stumpy57]

yes it is a big tank it is a jewal 240 wich is 4ft long about 18in hi

 

[shelaghfishface]

28 high???

thats the same as my tank, and its not 28 high its 18

That must be with hood included Shel.

 

[shelaghfishface]

the hood is only about 5 tall.. oh well maybe he can find his tape measure faster than i can

infact 4!!

i was getting excited then, thought i had a huge tank

not going to get a tape out but it is not a small tank lets just say that shall we

 

[shelaghfishface]

its 47.5x15.5x18... so there you are no need

Sushi is about 1.5 yrs old and nearly 10"

My 2 were 10-12" each after about 15 months.

Is That Tank Big Enough for an Oscar? That seems to be like a 45g Tank I thought Oscars need a 75g tank!!!

Its a 63USG which IMO is still too small
But opinions do differ when it comes to Oscars
