i have an albino tiger Oscar that ive had for a year, i keep her in a 40b, which is 3 feet long, 18" wide, and 16" deep. the filter i run is rated for 100g, HOB and i do 2-3(depending on how dirty and if i fed live foods) times a week, of 15-25 gallons, and ive had many people say she looks to be in perfect health. she is now 9.5 inches, and 14-15 months old. this is by no means her permanent tank as i want to get her a 75, but because of my dilligance with water changes and the filters i have on her she shourd be good for another 2 yrs or so. she did grow about an inch a month til she reached 9', and now grows about .5" as stated before. she loves crickets and other bugs, zucchini, grapes, and apples, as well as the occasional feeder guppy (fed only after a 1 week quarantine) and has even been trained to hand feed, as well as bite fingers when held over her tank. she has no plants in her tank as she likes to move her fake ones around 2 much and would kill live plants, and no decor really to speak of, a very wimple tank. her only tank mate is a 7.5" common pleco that i got when both were around 5". i love my baby girl, and good luck if you decide to get one! a really fun, and beautiful fish if you put in a lil extra work.
