How do you know if your Oscar fish is dying?
If you do the right thing by your fish it should not be dying. The basic rules for keeping fish are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water (Oscars need much more). :- every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- every tank needs to have at least 50% of its water changed every week.. Oscars need a temperature of above 75F and below 85F. One Oscar needs a properly set up 20 gallon tank. 2 Oscars can get by in a 30 gallon tank.
