Oscars

[Lord Fishheart]

Is a 200 litre tank big enough for an Oscar?

 

[Miss Wiggle]

not really, the tanks 55 gals and some people say that's the minimum, most 'serious cichlid hobbyist' would agree though that a 75 is as small as they'd be comfortable going.

don't let me put you off because ocsars are truly a wonderful fish to keep, I wish I could have one again, but you'll be much happier in the long run if you get a bigger tank for them. Once you've seen a big adult Oscar in a decent sized tank you'd feel distinctly uncomfortable about putting them in anything less than 75gals.

something like a 4'x2'x2' is ideal.

yup a 55g is possible for a single oscar and thats it, a little small but possible, but they would much prefer something bigger!
