Oscars are great fish, but for one full-sized oscar, you need at least a 125 gallon tank. They get big and are very messy. If you keep other fish with him, thay must be at least the same size or bigger than the oscar. They are fairly peaceful cichlids but they will eat anything that can fit in it's mouth.

what are your water params? how do you keep the nitrates down in that size tank with so many fish?
its all a matter of opinion, and personally I'd support the guy who says 125g over the guy who says 75g, for an oscar.sandtiger said:
I think too many hobbiests out there need to emphasize respecting the fish, rather than respecting their own selfish wants.
