Hey AA, so I've just recently finished my first ever tank it's a 15g semi planted community tank, I made a full thread about it and there's a photo timeline on my profile. Anyway I had such an amazing time setting up the tank and no my fish are happy and so am I, me and my fiancée are buying a house in 6-8 months (hopefully) and I have said that once we are settled I would like an Oscar. However neither of us has any idea where to start. I've been doing some research on the Internet. The tank I buy will almost definitely be second hand either eBay or gumtree(UK version of Craigslist). So I'm looking at 8-12months before I buy an Oscar. I don't have room for a large tank at my house at the moment.
So my questions, of which they are quite a few:
Minimum tank size & ideal tank size? (For single & pair)
How do you sex oscars? (I want to know what I'm buying)
Can i keep 2 males together?
Can i keep 1 male 1 female together?
Tank mates?
Special dietary requirements?
Feeder fish?
Preferred substrate?
Plants or plastics?
Tank set up? (High/low current/flow)
Are there are common illnesses with oscars?
Also if you keep oscars could you post a picture of your tanks please?
Tanks in advance for all your help ~Tuck.
