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.
Could I introduce another Oscar into my tank?
Oscars grow relatively large, aggressive and are messy fish. If there is sufficent room in the tank and the Oscars are of similar size it would be possible. Just feed current Oscar first, turn off the aquarium lights and perhaps rearrange the aquariums decorations as you add the next one. Fish are more passive when full, having the tank dark decreases stress on both fish to make the introduction easier and rearranging the tank decor will sometimes pacify some territorial fish.

It all depends on how much other fish you have in the tank. Oscars need a lot of room so if there's tons of other fish in there it could cause problems. But if you have a couple it would be fine. If its a male Oscar its probably best you don't have them in a tank with any other Oscars. I volunteer at a pet store where they sell the fish so that's how I know this..
