Chris.L Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I would think 5ft as they grow large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoGaN Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 probly 4 ft would be ok for just one as long is it was wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 The minimum is about 200 liters, bigger being very preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joze Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Had 4 oscars in a 5 footer for short time they were happy in there but the water needed changing almost daily...mucky buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holiday Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 The general rule for keeping oscars is that each one needs about 200L to it's self (55 US Gallons), the average 4 foot tank holds around 250L. So if you want tp give him some tank mates then I would suggest a 5 or 6 foot tank that should be sufficient for him and a few mates! It is also advisable to extra filtration due to their messy nature. ( My oscar was racing around the tank last night with a block of frozen bloodworms just about as big as he is, so the others wouldn't get any, god he makes you laugh) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
