Tank Size for Severum and Oscar?

[fishie111]

If I wanted to keep a Severum and an Oscar together, what size tank would I need? Just curious.

Thanks!

Depends on the fish but I'd go with a 120g

I agree with Japtastic. The bare minimum for one or the other of those fish is 75. Depending on their personalities, a 120 may not be big enough.

180Gal or even better a 220 Gal .

As an Oscar need 75Gals to him self and it also depends on how many Severum's you are having in the tank too .

Agree I'd say minimum of 125gal, but the BIGGER THE BETTER and a happier fish.

TC, a 75G would be fine for a single Oscar and Severum. IMO a 125,180, or 220 is just silly. Good god I saw some of the people on here tell a guy a few days ago that he needed a 55g for a single JD. Shakes head.

A 120g at least if you want them to be happy...

i have an oscar, 2 sevs and 1 firemouth in a 90 gallon. they are all healthy and happy.

Seriously I have an Oscar, jd, severum, in a 75g and they are healthy and happy as well... People on here think everyone can go out and get a 2000 gallon tank to hold a single fish. Do ur water changes and enjoy your fish, this website can sometimes be a little to high and mighty
