I really wouldn't keep two in there. A 55 would be about the minimum for one oscar with a 75 being much better. If you had really good filtration you could pull it off for a little while, but should try to upgrade or find a more adaquite home for them. Or just keep one and find the other one a home.
 
What size are they? You could get away with it for a little while.. and then you will definitely need to upgrade. Oscars get HUGE
 
Yeah that is true, what size are they?
 
I keep two in a 55 untill they both got about 6 inches and then it was time to upgrade
 
Depending on the size of the oscars it might work for a little while with bi weekly water changes and great filtration. Oscars make a huge mess. But to keep them for any real length of time you will probably need about 90gal.

A 100 gallon tank would be considered to be a minimum size for a pair of these fish.Oscars grow very rapidly, as much as 3 cm per month lots of filtration

:iagree: 100 would be your best bet for 2 oscars...
