Talk to your local pet store as often they will take unwanted fish. Many will give you a store credit in exchange for the fish.

Find a display in a pet store and ask if they will keep him in that. That's what I did with my ID sharks when they grew too big for my tank.

Your local pet store will take him if you donate the fish. I did that once with an albino catfish. They were thrilled to get it.

see if the pet store will buy back your Oscar,
my friend would sell back his Oscars when they became too big for the tank

Cut your losses!! Give that fish away, or trade it!! If you don't have friends with fish, there are plenty of fish clubs out there!

try your local 'freecycle' organisation and give it away.
