Well, its a comfort they only live 15 years-at least it means I was doing something right!! I am *hoping* to get a 125-175G seconhand at some point, then I'll get an oscar again, Till then I'm sure gonna miss having one around!!Still, I probably won't have a chance to get one till I'm out of college, and that will be in like, ten years! :(

:Considering his age and the deplorable conditions he lived in for most of his life, I'd say it was death of "natural causes." I'd think one of his internal organs went...most likely due to the stunting of living in the 10 gallon tank all those years.

:A healthy, well cared for oscar will only live 15 years, so he lived quite long considering what that teacher did to him!
