oscars do they mix

[tankbusterlover]

Hi,

Is it written on wal-mart tank that Oscar can mix with Irridescent shark,bala shark ect.. But you know Wal-mart and their tank recomendation so i thought i would ask before getting a pair. As i understand the minimun tank for an oscar is 75 gallon because they get to 12" so they need 18" deep to be able to turn. For a pair a 120 gallon and more is needed.

u could grow up a couple oscars in a 55 gallon but in about 6 months they'll out grow it

Generally, if the fish wont fit in the oscars mouth and won't bully the oscar, it will be ok.

All of the rules change when an oscar is in a small tank though. They're not aggressive...........they're territorial.

i have my oscar mixes with a jack dempsey, some type of convict (i think) fire eel, 2 inch flower horn, and a pleco. he doesnt really bother anyone. except the convict and him will mouth at each other some times
