If you were caring and "obbsesed" with fishkeeping you'd at least have a nitrite & nitrate test kit...........knowing that oscars are very susceptible to hex which is caused by bad water quality and especially Nitrates!
Im sorry about your well being and all but maybe you should take care of your self before worrying about fish mate. A job, a bit of counciling and maybe a sit down with your family first to clear up your routine, then worry about hobbies. Prioritize homeboy, work, then play
The 1 oscar, 1 firemouth and 1 aureus should be good in your 112g as long as it is filled up to capacity, weekly water changes and constant temperature. I think if your 112g is filled then you could even manage to keep the severum in there, you have a decent filter and a decent sized tank. You have to meet those 3 basic conditions when an oscar is involved though or your water will go down hill fast.
Please don't get the 65g (3ft) unless you cannot fill the 112 up completely, there is no way 1 oscar can live in a 3ft tank. You would need to get rid of both oscars if you went with the 3ft.
I stand by my thoughts that you are not in any position to have fish at the moment but because I know you won't stop and may even try to go it alone, I will try and help you for the sake of your fish.
And remember pm me if you want before making a thread, that way I can help you stay out of trouble so you don't get mauled in open forum like in this thread.

if i got the 3 foot ( which prolly i wont ) id deff get rid of my cichlids, and go for a community tank, but after finding out the dimitions i prolly wont be getting it ( sounds like a 45 gallon anyways 3 foot long foot wide and 2 foot high ) just staying with my tank. first thing im getting out of my first check once i get my job less then 2.5 weeks is a nitrite/rate tester ( any ideas on what brand? heard API is good, and i DO have API ammonia tester )
Not a good thing to do LBF, speculating. And yes API's a good brand IMHO.livebearerfreak;4579029; said:
