How many Oscars in a 240? Stocking suggestions?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
actually 6 or 7 is to many for a 300... id i wouldnt do more than 4 in a 300. may seem big now, but they do get to 12 to 14 sometimes up to 16 inches... but nice tank regardless.
 
Well there are six oscars in there now, if there are problems I will move some to the 125.

Any suggestions for the best bottom feeders? I need some sort of cat in there ;)

With 6 O's the best bottom feeder IMO would be your Python.
 
I get that you think waste will be an issue. I have an ammonia sensor on my tank, and excellent filtration. I perform VERY regular water changes and tests. I have power heads positioned so waste goes straight to a filter sock instead of settling on the bottom. I know what's required to keep the water clean, and it stays clean.
 
Then try some geo RH Taps or similar species. Taps don't get too big and great sifters.
 
The way people have overblown the Oscars fecal output you'd think you have to follow them around with a pooper scooper...time to put that myth to rest.

The waste even if removed from sight is still in the system asides from solid waste they still produce urine. Tour tank looks cool man i think aquanero is just pointing out how important wc's will be.

I think he has made it pretty clear. That he does a great job keeping up on his water cleaning and changing. So with that I don't think he will have any issues. Nice tank! Keep us updated
