Oscars?

[Bruce Leyland-Jones]

Well I have plenty of smaller schooling fish in my 40 gallon. I was hoping for something a bit bigger with some personality.

Apistogramma...two female to one male.

Yes, as you can see you can't keep Oscars in a 75g

No I'm sorry we just got these photos of Charlie feeding. His Mrs. was really boring mind you.

after putting 14 inches on a tape measure in front of my 75, i feel like i'm giving my fish castles to live in

In a 75g ? I’m not judging as you clearly know what your doing but in a 75g you can’t possibly have the length for the fish , my 125 is 5ft in length and I wouldn’t put anything bigger than 12inches in there and feel good about it , maybe species only

I might have the size wrong the tank was 48x18x18 what ever that is in gallons. There was just Charlie and his Mrs.

In the corner of the photo you can see the Hygrophilia growing, you wouldn't think you could keep plant with Oscars either would you.

The width and height was only 4 inches larger than the fish though ! Just not enough in my opinion regardless of how clean the water was just not enough space

The tank I’m looking at is 49 inches long, 21.25 inches tall, and 19.5 inches wide.

I didn't want to ruin this Thread but please read my story about Charlie and The Mrs.

Oscars are great pets

In total, your tank is 88gallons. I suggest a school of African cichlids such as peacocks. I suggest 7 or 8 and a few smaller Synos.
