 | Oscars by Richard F. Stratton
Oscars appeal to hobbyists for their personality - often compared to that of a puppy because they recognize their keepers and beg for food. However, oscars aren't the easiest of fish to keep because they grow fast and large, and they prey on other fish. This book explains the intricacies of maintaining oscars, from the varieties to care and feeding to breeding. AUTHOR: Richard F. Stratton
