oscars

[dory]

just wondering if there are any problem with keeping 4 oscars together,as i have read that they are best kept in pairs. annyone have any experience ?

you would just need a big tank!

 

[Skoomakilla]

yup.... unless you happen to get an unusually agressive oscar

i have 2 oscars and they get a long good that would be awesome to have a tank full of oscars though

i agree, if you've got the room and you want to do it, there's no reason why you cant give it a go!!

I don't know how much truth there is to this but a local Oscar breeder told me that it's best to keep them in odd numbers. it has something to do with forming pairs when they are young. We have two that have been inseperable since we braught them home.

Oops...I just realize how strange that picture must look to Oscar owners...thats the Angelfish tank and the Oscars were only in there for a short time...even so they managed to pull out a good half of the plants. Their new 100 gallon digs is all rock...lol

As long as your filtration is good, go for it, and give them room. I would buy 4 fish from the same tank at your lfs.

With a big tank and really good filteration, it'd be good.

Yeah just need a really big tank and they will be fine.

you can make it work. Oscars arent aggressive, they're territorial.
