Hey

[Brian_Smith1106]

Hey guys/girls my name is Brian. I have a pike currently not sure what kind but maybe you can help me out. My current setup is 75 gallons. Look forward to meeting everyone and learning tons. Plus I want to add 2 tiger oscars and eventually a bigger

Welcome. I'm not a pike expert but may need to repost in the pike section for help.

@crenichla444 and mrrobxc may help!

Welcome to MFK!

I would advise against adding even 1 Oscar, since your tank would be crampy for even a single specimen, much less 2. Plus, Oscars grow very fast, so even if you get them while they are small, they will outgrow that tank in no time. Just a friendly advice, and again welcome

75 gallons isnt enough for one?

The thing is Oscars get bigger than a foot long and pretty quick. For now it will be okay I bet you in 6 months it will not be okay. They will most likely eat your pike cichlid they don't get that big and Oscars are nasty.

Depends on who you ask. I feel a 75 would be 'ok' for 1 O by itself, but definitely not 2. Plus, there could be aggression issue between the O and the pike, once the O hits maturity

120g is good for one Oscar solo.

I see however if that pike gets eaten we have some problems lmao hes already almost a foot long. I plan on upgrading inthe future though to something alot bigger

You should wait until you get the larger tank before getting the O. Like I said, they grow super fast
