i just got an oscar fish and i was wondering if he grew to how much the tank would allow or if he would grow to his full size
 
No fish grows to fit the size of their environment. That is called stunting- it means the fish's body is not allowed to grow, but the organs continue. It causes poor growth and a shortened lifespan.

I would say a 55 gallon minimum, preferably larger. Expect him to grow at least a foot, in correct conditions.
 
he would grow to 12 inchs or more either way, if u dont have enough room it will stunt his growth and he will die....

you need AT LEAST a 30 gallon but preferably a 55 gallon.
