you could put a GT pair in a 80g. what are the dimensions? since its a high though this may not be good as you have to go by the footprint of the tank when thinking about fish to add. you could do a community of smaller cichlids, like sajica, salvini, you could do an ebjd with a big school of tetras, and lots of other ideas i cant think of right now but yeah as far as the Os it would def be better do like your planning now and just start them in the 125, if you want a pair then your best bet would be to get like 5 or so and grow out until a pair forms and then rehome the others, also any dithers you want to add are best added when they are tiny so they grow up with them and accept them GOOD LUCK and make sure to post pics when you get your new babies
could do severums or discus as well in the 80, high tank would be good for those types of fish since they are high bodied

Thanks! I dont know the exact footprint but i wanna say 4x1x4? I wont even say i am close cause that is a guess. I know its 4feet long but as the others not off the top of my head.
Could I go 1 Jag? Maybe having one tank buster could be cool. I have an old picture. Let me see if i can figure out how to put it up here.

the truth is most times two oscars will not get alone... one is better.. three is out.. for an 80gal.. Oscars need exceptional water conditions to stay healthy... oscars are very sloppy piggy eaters so just trying to stay ahead of the water changes is a job that needs to be consistant...
This is the Tank. The oscars and the Red Devil are no longer in it. The O's went to a friend and the Red Devil right now is in 125.
hey,
I to have a question about oscars, i just picked up 2 8-10" oscars that are currently in a 55 gallon tank. I have had the tank for only about 1 week now however the tank seems a little small for them. For what i have read i need a minimum of 40gal/oscar so i would need to upgrade my tank asap then? i just introduced a stingray as well.
The info on my tank.
I have under gravel water movement hooked up to the jets and then i have 2 water filters, one is a aqua fresh 350 and the other is designed for a 55 gallon tank.
am i in serious trouble?

also, sorry to hijack the threat but, if i upgraded the filter to something that moves alot more water would this help? I know the more filtration the better but i mean is the tank size going to kill these fish?

yes you are in serious trouble no matter what filter you put on there the nitrates will be too high unless you are doing 2x 50% wc a day and more than likely one will kill the other anyways, you need at least a 75g for one O so you need to get a 120g or 125 for the 2 Os as for the stingray depending on the type the smallest needs at least a 180g when full grown, the lfs call them "teacup" but thats just nickname of young pups (most likely reticulated ray), there is no stingray that stays "teacup" size for long
