IMO, pet shops shouldn't order these species at all. I'm opening a LFS soon, and won't even carry oscars except by demand, and oscars are small (relatively speaking). My problem with Astronatus is that too many live in 20 gallons until they die of hole-in-the-head or simply foul conditions. Every aspect of the pet hobby has these animals people aren't prepared to care for the course of their life, whether it's Burmese pythons, pot-bellied pigs, green iguanas, or pacu.
