How to Raise Oscar Fish for Shows

EVER WANTED TO RAISE OSCARS BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST TO HARD HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE STEPS THAT ANYONE CAN DO.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• COMPLETE FISH TANK 35gal
• FILTERS
• GRAVEL
• AQUATIC PLANTS
• PATIENCE

1. 
   TANK WITH PRAWNS, DRIFT WOOD, AND FOLIAGE RUNNING FOR 18 HOURS

   FIRST SET UP YOUR TANK IN AN AREA THAT IS NOT BOTHERED BY TRAFFIC IN THE HOME. SOME SUNLIGHT IS OK FOR THE TANK. FILL WITH WATER START THE FILTER SYSTEM LET THE TANK RUN FOR ONE DAY.

2. 
   ALBINO OSCAR AND LEMON OSCAR IN SAME TANK

   NEXT PUT IN ANY GRAVEL, PLANTS AND OTHER ITEMS ex.DRIFT WOOD INTO TANK AND LET IT FILTER FOR ANOTHER 12 HOURS. YOUR TANK IS READY FOR YOUR FISH.

3. 
   LEMON AND ALBINO OSCAR IN TANK THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOOD TOGETHER NO FIGHTING

   NEXT PLACE BAGGED FISH ON SURFACE OF WATER AND LET THE BAG FLOAT FOR 30 MINUTES. THIS GIVES THE FISH A CHANCE TO GET THE TEMPERATURE ADJUSTED. YOU ARE THEN READY TO RELEASE FISH INTO TANK.

• CHANGE HALF OF THE WATER EVERY 10-15 DAYS

on 12/23/2008 Wow, this article is full of misinformation. Oscars need 55g MINIMUM, 75g preferably. The tank has to cycle for at least 4 weeks (unless you get something like Bio-Spira). Research these things elsewhere, people!
