I'm just a fishluvin' fool. Actually I was goin' fishing. . . .
Can you see the stress folks?
Minimum tank = maximum work + maximum stress. So I'm stressing out here and so are the fish.
But I'm on minimal labor myself, since I twisted a knee tripping over my wife's cat.
This is her revenge on me, because I gave her an "I told You So!" when her huge dog smashed her to the concrete for the 3rd time, and she broke her knee cap in half. (Sorry Felix . . .Surgeon probably bought a new boat.)
All this crap is directly interfering with a major home remodel. The den is not finished, and the garage is still hell. Parlor needs paint and carpet has 17 years of pet germs.
Anyhow it's all . . . Gang Aft Agley . . . until the cash comes thru and my knee heals up enough to even unload from the truck (let alone wrestle around on the floor leveling) a tank.

Whether arguing about fish food or room for fish...sometimes seem like a revolving door.
Me too. Just a post about a guys comments about oscars. All of a sudden it's a saga about tank size. I've been hazed so much on this subject I steer clear. God forbid we say the wrong thing and get blamed for disseminating "incorrect" information to the "new to fish keeping crowd".
Big back and forth about opinions or in some people's minds and oratory "facts". It is so old.....
Man with the time difference between here and the Rest of the world it's amusing to wake up and see these threads still going and everyone having a ruckus about them!
It would be interesting if you got a 50G and a 240G tank set up with identical filtration methods, filtering the exact same % of water per hour. Then get 2 juvenile oscars from the same batch of fry and put 1 in each tank. Feed them the exac same amount and type of food and do the exact same % of water changes for 10 years and see which fish grew largest ,lived longest , was healthiest , looked better and seemed happiest.
If anyone has some spare $, space and time then go for it and solve the issue once and for all.
My scientific prediction if I was to try it is my wife would yell at me and tell me to get outside and mow the lawn.
