Oscar and jd in 90 gallon ?

[Hendre]

IMO get a 6 foot tank and get a JD and Oscar and some other smaller cichlids. You will get bored with only 2 fish in tank. I mean sometimething with a 48x18 footprint is the bare minimum for an oscar and a JD imo but that's really pushing it as an oscar needs a 48x18 tank to itself, also it's not really about gallons, it's about footprint of the tank.

Oscar's need 72"x 20"+ IMO. they can and will reach 15" if given the chance

I agree with Hendre, a 125 would work better size wise.

Do you already have the tank, or are you shopping tanks?

From all the spamming threads from him, I don't think he own any tanks yet. My guess 90G is biggest he can get but more likely he getting the 55G one.

If he can only get a 4 ft tank a 4x2x2 120 or 4x2x2.5 150 are his best options for the fish he wants, but still not as good as a 6 ft tank.

Been down that road. It is cheaper and better in the long run to get the most tank you can to start with.

+1, I did the whole get a bigger tank thing upgrade every few months/year a few years ago before I got out of the hobby, now that I'm getting back in I didn't waste my time with that I went right for a 180 gallon(tbh I still regret not going bigger but I was limited to a 6 ft tank but still a 6x3x would have been nice lol). I mean if the OP has never kept fish before in all honesty maybe a 75 would be good just in case he doesn't click with the hobby, BUT for the fish he wants a bigger tank is better in this situation plus if the hobby does click for him, he will want to upgrade later on and he would have avoided that if he went big in the first place. The OP seems pretty ambitious/interested in the hobby so maybe going bigger would be a good choice. Plus a used big tank on Cregslist is pretty inexpensive.
