I would like to know if a largemouth bass or maybe two can be grown up with my jack dempseys and Oscar my Oscar is being moved to my 15 gallon because he is being picked on. I have a house upstate in new York which has a very large pond. Somewhere over 15 feet in deepest parts and about 1/2 mile by 1000 feet. Huge pond honestly! I would buy the fish I am getting offline and drop them in my pond when they get large. Over 2 feet. I was wondering what catfish I can keep in here. I was thinking channel catfish. So you know I usually get a new turtle tank every time my turtles grow more so I have already had at least 6 tanks. So the tanks will grow rapidly.

Woaw you need at least a 75 gallon for your oscar and all the guys you have...what it looks like is that your buying tanks but 10 gallons more. Save thatoney or use it for a 75 or 100. Large mouth bass or i think tilapia will do fine but if they are slighly bigger or same size.
 
Thanks for the info and I don't buy 10 gallons bigger and from over 15 people I have heard and from personal experience I know an Oscar only needs a 30 gallon. My uncle had a 14 inch Oscar in a 29 gallon bowfront and that fish was happier than anything. So the Oscar is fine and like I said I increase tank size all the time.

1 oscar needs a 70 gallon aquarium at least.
 
Seriously just look it up dude....
Oscars get enormous, just because your uncle stuffed one in a small tnak doesnt mean you should too. We are not trolling you as you think, you posted a question and people are trying to answer it, TRYING TO HELP YOU! You will get flamed for this, you are wrong. How would you like to stay in a small room the rest of your life surrounded by your own crap?

That is if it would like to have a lot of space and be very spacious but it can live in a 30 gallon and I'm only 14 years old and the last thing you need to be doing is being a troll so stfu and get off my posts. I know what I need to that's what matters. Not you

Back up kid. Being 14 is no excuse for stupidity. Naivety, yes, stupidity, no. I'm 16 and I have been on here since I was 12, and I never, ever, put any fish in as grossly oversized a tank as an Oscar in a 10g, so dont play the age card with me. If you're saying you "dont buy bigger than 10g tanks" you should stick to smaller stuff. You can keep a lot of stuff in 10g< tanks. Oscars are not one of them. Take your fish to the LFS, and do some research.
Anyways, yeah, an Oscar needs at least a 75g tank. ONE Oscar. They can grow to over a foot in length, and I am looking at a 30g tank right now, and it's not NEARLY big enough for any foot long fish, let alone one with the bioload of an Oscar. I have a fish book that says they can be kept in a thirty, but not everything you read/hear is true. Do some research before you shoot your mouth off.
 
U guys all misunderstood me. I have a 55 gallon I meant I Don't buy 10 more gallons over the recommended size for my turtles and I keep fish with my turtles so you guys all misunderstood
