Should i save these two oscars?

I have two beautiful tiger oscars that are in need of a new home. They are a grey & red color, one is about 10in long & the other is about 14in long. They are each currently in their own 30gallon tank but they really need bigger tanks and I am in the process of trying to sell the tanks (along with some other large aquariums) to free up room in my home & cant put them in any of my other tanks. Im down-sizing. They are really beautiful and great to watch. They eat cichlid pellets & feeder fish (goldfish or rosies). I am willing to give them to seperate homes if you can only take one or they would be fine in the same large tank together if you have a tank big enough. They used to share a 140gal tank together with another Oscar & a few smaller fish but we had to move them to make room for our Giant Gourami (which I am also considering selling). You can transport them in a cooler. Sorry, pics arent that great!

I wouldn't save them. Trash fish. I would throw them out in the yard. Just my opinion.

YOu will be forever cursed by the mfk god's. The correct post should've read "Yes, save them! BUild a 4000g plywood tank. Anything less will be unacceptable." You would've been blessed. Now you must live forever as a leper, cursed with plagues such as ich, hith and parasites. You are now cast forever out of the heavens of fish keeping.
 
Yeah i only have a 120 so probably not the space.

WOW i never would of thunk it a mfk member saying that a oscar is a trash fish. if it wasnt for the oscar there would be alot less of us here that is the first and still one of the most desirable most personable fish that i have ever owed.
 
Don't overcrowd your own fish because of someone else's bad fish keeping. Only keep them if you wanted 2 fully grown oscars in some of your setups.
