ok, so there is this 65 gallon tank at my big al's, but its footprint is like 20" thick, and 36 inches long or something like that. anyways, could i keep an oscar in it with some tankmates. if so, what kind of tankmates?
oscar in 65????

sorry I disagree.... I grew my Oscar to 13" in that same 65 gallon. Yes I know its only 3 feet but its 18" wide which gives him some more comfort in turning and swimming back and forth the tank. I eventually moved him to his own 55 not because the tank was to small but just because I wanted to put something else in that tank. 65 I would not put anything else at all. One Oscar can stay there. If he gets like super huge one day then maybe move him. Just my opinion.
I've got two big oscars in a 100 gallon and the're fine, i'd like to give them more room but can't at the minute. I can't picture them in anything less than an 100 gallon.

i belive you could house an oscar happily in that aquarium, i have kept many, and they need the width like in your tank more than length in 4' tanks, so your 65 would be perfect, though i would keep him alone in the tank
