Hi all,
I have two oscars and a few kribs both in seperate tanks but the time has come to get rid of one of my 3 tanks,so will 2 oscars approx 3" and 3 kribs approx 2" live together in one 2 foot tank.I dont want to get rid of the fish but keeping just 2 fish in 1 tank and 3 fish in another seems a waste of tanks.I also have a 4' tank with plattys and mollys in it but i dont think kribs are community fish and i know oscars are very non community.

Thanx
regards
john
 
a 2 foot tank is too small for oscars, within a few moths, it will be over 8 inches
i forgot how big kribs can get but they might be ok in a 2 footer
 
The kribs will do fine in a community [got a pair spawning in my 4' this very moment]. The oscars, well there gonna have to go soon anyway.

Hi,
I have had the oscars for 6 months and they have not grown,will they take a growth spurt ? i have seen massive oscars but the guy at lfs told me these would not grow over 3"? is it time to find another home for them?

IF THATS THE CASE I THINK I WILL BE THE ONE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER HOME WHEN THE WIFE FINDS OUT I NEED ANOTHER BIGGER TANK :rofl:

If you email me i will email a photo back` joniwaller@aol.com

I use paint shop pro, it got your 400kb images down to 17 and 18kb and reduced them to 50% pixle size.

1 Oscar needs a min tank size of 55g, and yes it will out grow a 2ft tank, i myself have a oscar in a 2ft tank as a grow out tank and it was 2" when i brought it and is now 6-7" and ready to be moved.
Kribs: they wont last 2secs with oscars, the oscars will see these guys as feeder fish and attack right away.

If you have 2 oscars in the same tank and the tank isnt over 75g get ready for these guys to start to fight over the tank and they will fight to the death, all fish outgrow there tank if they are to small for them.
