    He's going to need a bigger tank soon! I think the smallest recommended for 2 oscars is a 75 gallon.

    HTH,

      Agreed. A 75 may be the smallest for two asdult oscars.

        agreed,  I tried to keep a mated pair of Oscars in a 29 and lost them.

        The two I have now are in a 68g and if the circulation stops they get a little distressed.

        He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

          Also, the smallest recommended tank for a single oscar is 55 gallons.

                  I had someone come into my store and tell me they had an oscar in a bowl!!!!!  I just about flipped...  They upgraded to an eclipse 5 gallon.

                  I heard second handabout a  chinchilla in a 10 gallon aquarium.. Thats cruelty.. I'd have called the humane society.

                  Some people think animals are decorations. I wish they would all realize its a hobby and a responsibility.

                        they had no idea what they had. probably got it at Wal-mart..

                        They said they had "some stripy fish" and i figured tiger barb. then they walked by the oscar tank and told me thats what they had... I told them how big they got, what kind of tank they need, even fed a little rosy red to them to show what kind of fish they had.   they just smiled vacantly and nodded.
