Oh, yes, Oscars fucking win. I rused to have Oscars, and after going through many other tank residents in the big tank we had them in after them I'm considering getting them again because they are so awesome.
I got four, 2 just like the one pictured, one albino one, and one that was sort of red mud colored. Within a few days, orange striped oscars had killed the muddy one, and the albino one was hiding, so I moved him to another tank, equally large. (however, he was stunted, and never got much larger than a medium sized goldfish. Probably because he was albino and therefore retarded.)
But after that, the other two were best buds. A male and a female. They even tried to mate all the time, but the idiots would always eat the eggs after fertilizing them. They usually will swish the eggs around with their mouths to rearrange the/ protect them/ etc., but they were just stupid and accidentally ate them. Every time.
Otherwise they were awesome fish. Fed them worms and crickets and beetles. Never needed to give feeders. Didn't want to risk it, personally, feeders can have parasites and shit.
They are great creatures with a surprising amount of personality. If you have the time and money to invest in one of these awesome beasts (and they are beasts, can get almost as large as a small platter) then I would highly recommend it. Make sure you put large rocks on the tank lid, as they have a tendency to spaz out and can jump right out onto the floor. happened to me a couple times before I put the rocks there.
TL;DR, OSCARS FUCKIN' RULE.
