1. Provide your Oscar with at least a 55 US gal (210 L) tank. Although your Oscar may be very small when you first get it, it can actually grow to be 10–11 in (25–28 cm) in length, and sometimes even larger!
2. Place a secure hood on the aquarium. Oscars like to jump, and they'll even sometimes jump right out of the tank. In fact, a medium-sized Oscar can even lift the lid right off of the tank if it isn't secure enough.
3. Add a heater and a thermometer to keep the water between 74–81 °F (23–27 °C). Oscars, like most fish, are very sensitive to changes in water temperature. They're happiest when the water is around 77 °F (25 °C), but they'll tolerate a range of 74–81 °F (23–27 °C).
4. Give the fish a few decorations to hide behind. Although Oscars aren't particularly shy fish, they'll be most comfortable if they have a place they can go to feel safe. Driftwood, plants, and other decor are popular options for an Oscar tank.
5. Use coarse sand or gravel as a substrate. The choice of substrate is largely a matter of aesthetics. However, since Oscars produce a lot of waste, it's best to have a substrate that filters well.
6. Include a high-capacity water filter in the tank. Oscars are known for being
really messy fish. They produce more waste than most fish species, and they
like to rearrange their tanks, so they're constantly stirring up the bottom.
7. Change 10-15% of the water in your tank every week. Since Oscars are
so messy, cleaning the tank is essential. The best way to keep the
aquarium fresh is to take out about 10-15% of the water once a week.
8. Use a water testing kit to keep the pH between 6 and 8. Most fish prefer a
relatively neutral environment, and Oscars are no different. About once a week, use
a test kit or pH test strips to measure the acidity of the water.
9. introduce tank mates from a young age or move them to a new tank.
Typically Oscars do best when they're kept alone.
