little fish died
sigh

80 gallon
Its `12 inches tall 30 inches wide and 60 inches long.

Try craigslist.com or check out fs ads here. Or give/sell the oscars and get some when you can care for them properly. The least amount of space 3 oscars can be in is a 125 gallon and its still pushing it.

well I saw a free 55g (prolly gone now) and a 50$ 55g, for the moment that would be the cheapest option. getting another 55 and splitting the fish up.

having a look at the craigslist in your area it seems so many are asking way too much for their used tanks. sorry for your loss of the fish and hopefully you'll be able get another home for the others.

Do you always take the fish out to clean the tank? There is really know reason to take the fish out of the tank to do a cleaning. Every time you tear that tank down the tank will have to cycle again. The tank you are looking at will be a pain to set up. Odd size stand and hood will have to be bought too. Look for a complete package. I found my 150 on craigs for 150 and better deals are out there.

It still confused me as to why you took the fish out to clean the tank?

oscars sometimes pick the weaker one and will single it out and pick at it until its dead not so bad if theres alot of room but in a small area it will make em more aggressive towards eachother mate,

You are always going to have a risk of aggression with housing 2 oscars in the same tank. Even if that tank is big enough to house thier bioload. untill you can get your oscars into a setup of 110 gallons at least for the two of them, you will continue to have health issues with them. And just to mention removing the sand to clean it is not a good idea, if your sand was cleaned b4 you added it to the tank there should be no need, and is actually bad to clean it. Simply stirring the sand with every water change is enough to clean it.
