Hello I have always wanted an Oscar and was wondering if a tank 3 feet long with good filtration be a good home for an Oscar if there are no other tank mates. I'm new to learning about oscars thanks in advance

It should be big enough for 1 Oscar until it reach 10" then your tank will look small compare to Oscar lover's.
I recommend getting a 75gallon

Not ideal by any stretch, but it would work with great filtration. Having said that the fish would be as long as the tank is wide, perhaps longer, so...
 
If you did water changes it would live....but it would be far from happy.imo a 120 wide 4x2x2 is the prefect oscar tank,for 1.you can also keep smaller tank mates..i had a 13" oscar in a 90 standard 4x1.5x2 and it didnt look right,so I upgraded.

min 75 to 90.but i wouldnt keep an oscar for life in anything smaller then a 120.

good luck
