2 years ago i got suckered into buying convicts in an attempt to breed my own feeders for my oscars. ive gave away atleast 500 convict fish.... they are almost a pest after a while. i kept finding hundreds of them in my overflows on my 240!

I used to have a trio of Oscars that were the same way! Oscars in general have a hell of a personality.

oscars are great if you have a tank over 100 gallons so a grown one has room to turn around! mine outgrew my 55 in about a year, and had to upgrade to a 240 to keep them happy!
