How wide should a tank be for 2 oscars? is 20inch ok?
 
depends on the length and the height.
 
That's fine but how many gallons? Two Oscars alone with no tankmates need at least 110 gallons of water to dilute nitrates.
 
Thought i put it in. Lol i lost a post someplace. But its a 60gal tank. 5x2x2.5 i think
 
Those dimensions are 180 gal.....lol If that's the size that's plenty.
 
oh sorry its 20inch wide 60 gals man sorry
 
It will if they are small but you will eventually need something on the order of 100.
 
One O = 55gal minimum, prefer 75gal.
Two O's = 75gal minimum, prefer 100gal+.
A tank with adquate room to turn around in is gonna be 16"+ wide, anything with with a width wider than a standard 55gal will work just fine.
