Would an Oscar be ok in a 100 gallon cube tank?

I have always wanted to see a fish grow from really small to huge.... Where would I find a really small Oscar? I think it would be fun to see but I don't want it if it is a HUGE hassle but I do understand it would be a hassle

Petco and Petsmart have small Oscars all the time. Usually around $7.

This thread is under cichlids, so goldfish may not qualify, but I love my goldfish--they're like underwater puppies.

I dont know many fish shops that dont carry oscars.... they pretty much flooded the market, thats why they are so inexpensive and people are bored of them.

Actually they are not really "inexpensive".

For 1-2" fish they run $6.99 for 3"+ $12.99 at Petsmart.

Inexpensive are Convicts that no matter what size are $2.99, Jack Dempseys $4.99, even saw Red Devils at $3.99

Oscars are a little high priced considering how "common" they are.

They are not the "in thing" right now but they are a great wet pet.

Yeah I was hoping to raise it from under an inch but I might have to settle for 1"-2". I can't raise goldies.... I used to feed them to my uncle's 5 30lb bass and by feed I mean it was a good portion of their diet. So when I have goldies I feel like I have to feed them to something larger.... Just Pavlov at work I guess

Got zerc's RD in my tank. It has personality but like to splash ALOT when you have him in a net

Congrats on the new fish.
