Could two oscars go in a 125g?

[franchise513]

As the title says could 2 go in there?

And if they could could they have any tankmates?

And what kind of deco/substrate/filtration would you use?

And what kind of tankmates would you suggest?

Easily, and with a couple other big fish if you would like. Decorate it however you want.

i had 6 in a 125gal tank. Had 3 cascades 1500's and cascades 300, weekly water changes. But two are cool. What kind of tank mates you want?

chances are great that eventually the two oscars would fight as they mature..better off with one oscar... {unless your extremely lucky}.. and then a few other fish added is okay too..

yeah they can id use sand and for filltration id use 2 ac 110's and a fluval fx5 canister tank mates uhmm try a gold saum aka green terror or a pleco or as far as decor drift wood and fake plants real ones wont last

ah i was thinking either another cichlid or some type of bottom dweller lol just throw some things out there maybe a pike cichlid or are those too aggro? And i no big cichlids arnt good with plants but do you think i could possibly get some driftwood with some like moss or like amazon swords or something on it, get that some what SA look going or do you think that would be destroyed instantly?

and im not the biggest fan of gts, and do you really think i need that much filtration? couldnt 2 AC110s work?

and haynchinook what are those oscars called, you have one, its not the normal or the albino, its the one in the top left of your tank, its red. And maybe a texas cichlid could that work?

oscars generally do better as a single specimen with other unrelated tankmates, or in groups of 4 or more oscars. 4 could look awesome in a 125!

really faraway? I didnt know that lol. then thats what ill do, one just common, one albino, one red(?), and any other species i could get at a lfs?
