I'll bite....i kept my o in a 150 after it hit 6 inches. Probably wouldnt keep one in anything less than a 72x18 long term. For territory and water quality i prob would do less for the life of the fish
Probably not the amswer pops was looking for lol.
Again i never stated a 40 would be god for an O I didnt take op's comment literally. My fault cuz i guess no way to know if it was literal or not.
Putting on my kevlar vest as i type... i know i just pissed off some oscar owner
hahaha, pops (if i may talk in the third person) was not looking for any thing. a large tiger, i agree except should be a tall tank as well, all my fish in tall tanks. so not just back and forth, but up and down.
B.s we both know you thought i was gonna day something like 55 or 75 gal lmaoo.
Me personally though i dont like the "show tank" height. The extra water is a bonus in regards to water quality but i feel like the in sa/ca that use the upper levels were some angels i had other than that all of em kept to the lower half of the tank. Even my current pearsei only goes to the top of the tank when he sees me (fat s.o.b)
I agree jaws, a 40 is a good size for an oscar... haha jk.
Puts on vest as well.
Screw it im home doing nothing wife and kids are out so nothing else to do.... a while back there were a few threads about oscars and tank sizes if i remember correctly some members were getting pised becasue they felt like the tanks size and bio load discussion was being unfairly blow iut of proportion.
I dont think putting an O in a 75 is horrible eother but for me i liked the bigger tank for them.
