Oscar questions

[ehh]

Well it looks as if my 125g grow out tank will turn into an oscar tank then.

You won't be disappointed. I don't know if you've seen a beast oscar but he'll fill out that 125 nicely.

I don't want to put it in something not big enough. I want it to live up to it's full potential.

I have 4 of them in a 150 and they are doing good. I would agree that you may have to upgrade once they get around 5 inches long.

I'm having some issues with fixing an issue my friend's oscar has.. look at what this looks like... its pretty wicked (image)

I guess I will stir the pot. I haven't needed a 6' tank with an oscar and even downgraded to a 90 from a 125 tall. They're bulky fish, but I have still yet to see any much over 12" in person no matter what size tank their in. Now I have seen a handful of 13"+ or atleast claimed on the internet (I may eat my words in a moment depending on who posts).

Will a 125 be better? Absolutely. Now with that being said I use a 75 as a grow out and have bigger 6' tanks stashed away that I upgrade to in a weekend if needed.
