The main requirement is SPACE. Oscars are very, very big fish, and they live a long time. Make sure that you can provide at the very, very least, a 60 gallon aquarium per fish. 75 gallon is better and 100 gallons is ideal.
Their water requirements are basic. They are highly adaptabled, but a pH between 6.5 and 7 is ideal, moderately soft. Temp should ve 76-78F.
Oscars are very gluttonous fish and will eat anything you offer, but they should be fed a wide variety of quality foods, as they are susceptible to malnutrition. Feed a staple diet of cichlid pellets, supplements with earthworms, shrimp, feeder fish, beef heart, etc.
