I have a big 11 inch Oscar that was in a 75 gallon tank but due to my mom being ignorant she got rid of it and now he is in a 29 gallon tank I want to keep since I’ve had him for two years but I want what’s best for him


What is lfs
Give them a call and ask. Don’t make any assumptions.My local pet store has a giant tank that he can go in
It’s your choice. No one can make you do anything—except maybe your mom.The owner would love to take him in but I’ll give away a fish I’ve had for a while hard choice
I totally understand where you're coming from, but be aware that it'll be REALLY hard to keep the water clean enough in a tank that size, and what I've read suggests oscars can get hole-in-the-head if the water isn't pristine. I know you wouldn't want that. I found a young albino oscar in the pond outside my apartment last month and I wanted to keep him SO badly, but even a 55 gallon would be pushing it in our apartment (plus I know I'll be moving several times in the next decade) so I brought him to the LFS to hopefully go to a home that can give him the huge tank he deserves. It was so hard giving him up after only a week (I'll be honest; there were tears) but it made me so happy to see him doing well in a nice big tank at the store. I know I did right by him. Now I've found a second oscar in a different pond that I'm working on catching and I would really, really love to keep that one too, but I know he'd be better off somewhere else. It's so hard.And she thinks he’s fine in their
Ok I want to keep him for a couple of more months I’m just not ready to give him up yet
