hmmm... a 10000 gallon pond, that would need a massive filter and i dont even wanna think about the heater well i thought i could get a nice big hottub and not add chlorine,but my parents don't want a fish in a hot tub let alone me having a hot tub in my room Oh well, i'll just hope for the best for him...

I bet a lot of you won't like this comment, but I think Oscars are one of those fish that are too big to be kept in captivity as well. They get up to 12" don't they?? No matter what size tank you have, it still isn't enough room for a fish like that to exercise properly, therefore they will not be mentally or physically as healthy as wild fish. This is the case with all captive fish though and I keep fish too, I'm just saying the bigger the worse off the fish will be. Now 100 neons in a 55 gallon would think they were in the ocean, but 5 Oscars in a 200 gallon would still feel like tight quarters in my opinion!

I totally agree.
