Hi, everybody. So, I have 4 bala sharks and 4 peacock eels in a custom built 68 gallon tank. The dimensions are 51"x17"18". Is it possible to raise a baby tiger oscar in this tank with my other fish? Or will it all end badly? All opinions are welcome. =)
 
Should be fine for a while, but oscars grow very quickly so you'll just have to use your judgement on when to separate them, because once the oscar can eat eels, he probably will.

Temporarily is fine, long term will end badly.
 
Minimum is 55g per oscar!
honestly! U can do more, but how much water change u want to do? 1 oscar will reallly really drive u INSANE! even in a 55g for one, they cause so much waste!
 
No problem!
well.. i just did a water change with my gf... we took out the measuring tape!
He's 7 inch and growing! I am scared.. the waste he produces.. is miraculous!
