My Copper Oscar has been thriving in a 55-gallon tank for over six months. It’s very active and shows off its colors well. I’ve added some caves and plants to give it hiding spots. It’s a beautiful addition to the tank.
Jason Graham –
The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. I’ve been monitoring water parameters closely. It’s not the quietest fish, but it’s entertaining to watch.

Great size and vibrant color. I’ve kept it with a group of tetras and a few corydoras. As long as the tank is large and well-maintained, it’s a solid choice.
