Oscar and Red severum

[robfishies]

Hey, i currently have a beautiful 5 inch tiger oscar and a similar size red severum. Both are healthy and get along well with the exception of some chasing. I used to have them in a 40 gal but it started leaking so i’ve been keeping them in a 10 gallon... Yes i know horrible. I’m moving in 2 months and will get a 60 gal fish tank to put them in. I wanted to ask if it’s okay to keep them in the 10 gal for another 2 months? I do water changes every 3-4 days 50%, filter, and 2 air stones. Water is always clear. I love them both very much and would hate for anything to happen.

No it's not okay for that time frame. If you can afford it go buy a rubbermaid tub as large as you can or borrow one until you can get larger aquarium. Just my opinion and what I would do in your situation.

Unfortunately i can’t do that for the time being and lack of space, but what i can possibly do is have the new tank set up in a month. I’ll have access to the house then and could set the tank up. We are officially moving in 2 months but the house is ready in one. Do you think they’ll be alright for a month? like i said i’m trying my very best to keep them healthy

Robfishies, it isn't ideal, but they will probably survive for the month. I have seen similar stocking of fish in fish stores many times.

Sometimes realities of your life have to dictate the situation with the fish, though it is far from ideal.
