You're kidding right?I have a 10 inch Tiger Oscar in a 125 gallon aquarium.He loves it there,even I have other fishes with him.Like a 4 inch green terror,6 inch jack dempsey,5 inch severum,3 inch salvini,3 inch texas,2 inch black convict,3 inch firemouth.Now before you say I am overcrowded,the salvini is a female,GT female,convict female,and 2 female ob peacocks.So I am not really understanding how a 125 gallon is a bare minimum.I can understand the purpose of this thread about him having 2 oscars in a 10 gallon tank,which is nuts.To me those are good for 3 inch cichlids or below to grow a bit bigger,until being put with the larger cichlids.
When it comes to 75g vs. 125g as a minimum, it just depends on your personal preference. A 75g is large enough to keep an oscar healthy and meet its minimum requirements, but the question is: is it right? In my opinion, it is fine for a bare minimum, but I can definitely see why someone may think otherwise.burzumaske20;5007727; said:

If you have heavy enough filtration a 75 is fine oscars are not very active fish and they don't move very fast unless they want to. If an oscar was very active then I could see how a 125 would be better but there not atleast mine isn't.

WOW how many moron, idiots did i read in this thread ? As much as I would love to see this die I just have to say shame on you guys . I mean did all you guys wake up great fishkeepers? How many people come to this site looking for help and end up never posting again cuz of fear of " flaming" . Give the guy advise and let it go , no need for namecalling .
