Dear friend,
If you're interested to start an aquarium, Oscar fish are a good choice because they are very hardy, easy to keep and long lived, up to 16 years! However, they do have a few specific requirements and this is due only to their large full grown size. Baby Oscars are tiny and cute but unbeknownst to most fish keepers, they grow very large, over a foot long, 12 inches and their rate of growth is extremely quick. It has been reported that Oscar fish grow up to 1 inch per month while they are young! With that said, never purchase these little fish and put them into a small aquarium thinking you'll upgrade the tank size "down the road".
