I was wondering for life, what would be the minimum tank size to keep:

4x Oscars
4x Jack Dempsey
2x Jewels

:confused:

You might need a spare room for the tank, 8D lol.

Lol... alright so possibly sightly unrealistic then?

As another option would be to keep the O's but then keep only 2 JD...

This obviously would be running with extra filtration + massive weekly water changes.
 
Lol, don't quote me on that, I'm not an expert on Oscars, or other cichlids , so it might be possible, I was just guessing you'd need a bit of space due to territorial needs.
 
Was thinking of going for something along the lines of 250*70*70 cm.

That would be fine.
 
probably a 240 or bigger. the Os alone will be a huge load. You should go with the 8x3x3 Perfecto tank. 300 gallons wouldn't hurt.
 
Is this down to the load or the fishes actual size?

Because if it is load alone could I not just add an extra external filter and obviously keep up with my 50% weekly water changes?
