Maximum and minimum tank size for oscars?

[Nic]

so a 120 gallon thats 4ft X 2ft X 2ft would work for 2 Oscars forever? i wanted a couple large rocks and maybe a fake plant or two as well.

yes perfect for life...

would there be a max? lol

i have heard a rumor that 2 could live by themselves in a million gallon tank with no problems.... again this is just a rumor not sure if it is true or not

i believe the minimum tank size for 1 oscar should be like 90+ Gallons with some good azz filtration.
probably the most mess making cichlid out there.
120+ Gallons for 2 o's.

i don't think there is a maximum lol.

a BS'er can always sense a BS'er...

sorry i might as well comment on this... i had 4 full grown oscars in a 90. as long as you can keep up on the WC's and not be a slouch a 18" width tank is good.
this is coming from a guy that siphons after each feeding. so if you arent into that i don't suggest it.

i siphon only when there's a lot of left over food. which is rare now since i got the polys. my rays are much more aggressive eaters now that they have to compete with the 4 polys. i only want 2 Oscars in my 120 4X2X2 when my rays and polys are gone of course

10 8'' dew worms gone in under 30 seconds... its like watching fat people eat..

i never want another oscar..

i just hate to see fish constantlly put food in their mouth and spit it out... especially if it's been in there awhile. plus it takes a big load off the filters. i am the mechanical.
