monaro1 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 what type of cichlids? small tank for most cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 You want a 4-5 foot tank for oscars because they get so big and as mystic said they like to swim like they're back in the jungle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanksman Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I'd say that a 5 - 6 foot would be the minimum for oscars - I wouldn't use 4 foot its too small - Choose another fish if you can't give it it minimum requirements - Theres a wide variety around - save yourself some stress.

sharn Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 the minimum reccomended tank is 55 gallons for one O (says the oscarspot) personally i would prefer 75gal for one. i suck with litres now as im so used to american volumes lol! id go with some of the cute little apistos etc if you are set on cichlids, heaps of personality in a small package :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
