No, you need to take him back, he needs a 50 gal just for him. Your tank is heading for a big disaster and fish will soon start dieing on you.

He will be ok for a while, but you'll need a bigger tank. If you don't plan on getting one you should take him back..

I was talking to a lady in Petco buying feeders for an oscar. I asked her how big of a tank she had, she says "10 gallon".. I told her she needed a bigger tank and she was like "well, that's what they sold me"...

Oscars grow fast given the right enviroment. In a 29 he will end up stunted and die an early death. If you plan to upgrade I would advise it within the next 2 to 3 months.
