Setting up a monster tank.....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
It is honestly amazing how fast oscrars will grow, a friend of mine has 3 of them in a 90 gallon with afew other fish and he got them at about the 2" mark roughly a year ago. I happened to be by his place about a month ago and the oscars must be about 12" now.
 
Wow I knew oscars grew fast but I didnt know they grew that fast amazing 10 inches in ayear!!
 
A few small oscars are fine in a 55 while growing out the only problem could be an aggression issue if you don't upgrade quick enough. I had two small ones in a 65 for growing out until I could get a bigger tank for them, in less than six months one became domiant and killed the other one, saved me getting a larger tank but still not good, thats before you think about cats
 
Blimey. I really had no idea they grew that quickly. Think that counts them out for me. So what else could I go with along those lines that won't grow as big. I love big cichlids & catfish so that's what I'd ideally like. Any suggestions?
