The key for that will be strong powerful filtration. Oscars require a tank measuring at least 70 inches (about 180 cm) with a capacity of 100 gallons and up (about 400 liters). Due to its eating habit (messy eater that produces a lot of waste) water changes should perform often and powerful filtration system is essential.

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.

Should you cover your tank for Oscar eggs to hatch?

There is no need. Breeding usually only takes place in a very large tank. Oscars are substrate spawners and will lay from 200 to 2000 eggs at a time. After three or four days, the eggs hatch. The fry is then transported to other location in order to protect them from potential predators. Oscars tend and guard their young and known to be good parents.
