Approx 20 us gallons accord to the tank standard chart

15-20 gallons is WAY too small. You'll need a much bigger tank to house those fish. the bigger they get, the more aggressive they'll be. So either upgrade now, or rehome them all and get a fish more suited to a small tank

I'm thinking that the bully is the more dominant of the group and it's going to get worse bc 20 gallons is way too small not even for one of those fish alone.

Until you get a bigger tank ( which should be soon) I would suggest getting plants,rocks,decor etc to break up the line of sight between the fish. It also gives the ones being bullied some where to hid

I want to keep 6 to 8 fishes
How many severums or oscars can be kept together and in what size tank
Actually i am a begginner .we have no proper fish stores here in my city . So figuring it on my own and learning.

But ive read that severum and oscars need more space to swim.
