So before I get roasted on my first post, let me say that I have kept oscars in a 125 gallon so I know that they enjoy space but i will be building a rack for breeding angel fish and guppies (different sized tanks obviously). I would like to have 3 tanks (40 breeder or 55) for keeping one Oscar in one, a school of 3-5 silver dollars, and the other tank would just be an extra to complete the rack. Now the real question is keeping an Oscar in a 40 breeder vs 55. I have searched the forums and hear both sizes. Bigger footprint on 40 vs more length on 55. So let's hear the pros and cons.
Oscar 55 VS 40B
- Thread starter OscarHooligan
- Start date
Neither 75 or bigger with good filtration For maybe a 8months max u could keep them in a 55 You could do the school of sDs no problem I would do a school of 6-8 in a 55
You're right, going back to my original plan. Back to the 125 gallon and using the rack system for breeding the Angels and guppies. I will be deleting this, thanks.
Yah if u wanna grow some out in a 40 or 55 before u put the oscars in the 125 u could do tht for awhile until hes like 8+ inches
