Yes they do, and they are actually better suited to being alone as they two males will fight over the territory in the tank. Make sure you can provide a large tank of 55 gallons plus with a good turnover, and furnish with sparse decorations such as bogwood, pipes and rocks. However Oscars can be kept with other large fish that can fend for themselves such as Tinfoil Barbs, Silver Sharks, Severums, Fire Eels and large catfish
