Which one?????

Ok people i would like some advice.
Which tank would be better for a couple of Oscars (not a breeding pair)
1: 72x18x18

OR

2: 60x24x24

Thanks for the feedback.

always go wider, get the 5x2x2

Ditto. Your oscars will hit a foot or more in size. I've seen 14 inchers taken out of the canals around Miami Intl airport. I've heard of some 16 inchers but, have never seen any that size.

Plus the wider one holds approximately 50 more gallons than the first one.

Ok thanks guys, just thought as it was longer it would be better but guess i was wrong.

yep wider is better

Wider gives turning room, narrow tanks are good display tanks if you don't plan on larger fish but don't allow you to change your mind.
