need an upgrade any idea?

[Sir-KS]

I wanna upgrade to a 55 GAL 48 x 12 x 21. ( im too lazy to get bigger tank then 55 lOl )

2 oscars red & albino both about 5 inches and 1 silver arowana 5 inches too.

Equipment
black sand bottom
aqua clear 50
fluval 305
lighting dont know

any suggestion plz do tell

cut out the aro asap! They will get waaay too big for that tank. They need 200+ gallons minimum. I would also only keep 1 oscar. 2 is too much bioload for a 55g.

but i like my aro lol....will im guessing OVERTIME

if i were you, i would get a 75 or 90g. Hardly any difference in physical size, HUUUGE difference in what you can keep. Then you might be able to squeeze in 2 oscars with adequate filtration

U should go to a 75 dont cost much more and its 18" wide

90 Gallon would work for me

90 Gallon would work for me

better idea, now that you decided to upgrade again, go for a 180!!!

A 55 shouldn't be considered for ONE of those fish, let alone all three. Agreed, 75 minimum for the oscars, 200 with the aro (footprint is the major concern).

lOl pffffff why not 200GAL
