oh sorry didnt see that yeah Os should be kept in 75min IMO, some people will say with good filtration they can be kept in a 55 but this would really be absolute min and then only by itself, but i wouldnt keep one in less than 75 because i think they need the extra swimming space

My Tank Setup


My oscar is in a 65 which is really on the limit, let alone with other fish.

Good luck, let us know what happens
