We favor Oscar fish. We currently have two and a giant sucker fish in a large tank. When my husband first brought them home I thought they were super creepy looking. They were also extremely little. Within a few months they grew into very large fish. I was surprised how tough they were. I coukd hear them crunching and grinding up their food between their teeth. We had one jump out of the tank and land hard on our tile floor. I was sure he was a goner, but nope! He lived another year and we gave him away when we had to switch duty stations and drain our tank.
Previously I had only had goldfish or betas and honestly had rotten luck with them living long.
