Tiger Oscar w/ Aquarium

So I am selling my Tiger Oscar and Tiger Barb. Comes with 10 gallon tank, Light, heater, filter, gravel, rock, food, plants, cleaning pump and net. Heres a video of my tank and fish. I am asking $100 FIRM!



Going back to the fleet with Marines and the wife doesn't like to take care of them. Hoping to find a good home for these guys!

10 gal won't old that oscar for long. Nor will the Tiger gar have have chance after the oscar gets a bit bigger. They end up killing everything.

Oh c'mon. If you're even considering getting an Oscar you should at least know what your getting into. They are easy to care for as long as they are by themselves. He's still small enough that a local aquarium store may take him. Tank looks clean so I'm sure he's disease free. Hopefully you can find a place for him. I had the same deal when I left for the service, my Oscar stayed behind. My mom took care of him for years. Finally he bit her and she had enough. She had my father take him out back and put him in the pond. That fish was in seven heaven until winter. Now I've got a few frontosas that are about 10" long. They are boring as all hell. At least with an Oscar you can throw things in there and watch it kill stuff.
