hes not getting all of them hes just getting 2 or 3 oscars most likey 2 because i noticed they like ot stick close together, so i might keep 2 small ones and 2 big ones so they stick together

[jayjay]

hmmph=/ the 2 largest oscars of mine were raised in a tank a little large than 45 with 4 oscars the same size and they were bought at the same size of the others i have now, and they grew fine in a tank with a red devil and a gar and some other fishes, but he gave them to me because i had the least amount of fish and i had the bigger tank=/

Ummm... So, lets recap. You have a very overstocked 120g, with terratorial fish that are very large and messy, with a filter (if you've decribred it correctly) is only suitable for a 70g lighting stocked community. Now you say you're trying to offload some of the biggest growing fish on someone with a tank too small even for one, and only just big enough for the smallest fish in the tank, and you appear unconcerned at any of this. That's not good.

nono im offloading some of the smaller oscars since they eventually will grow bigger than others

 

[OohFeeshy]

Smaller that will grow to 12/14". Current size is of no issue whatsoever. And if they 'grow bigger', why are you giving them to someone with a (comparatively) miniature tank?

 

[Mosdefenante]

his plans are to get a bigger tank around the time of his birthday (next month) or x-mas but at this time he has nothing in his tank but wants fish

 

[jayjay]

you can't wait till x-mas , what happens if he doesn't get the tank for his b-day?

if that becomes the problem, then i can go back to the place that i bought my cichlids from that buy fish, and i bought my little oscars for $1.50 each and at almost all stores down here they are $6-15 the size that i have
