doesn't anyone ever read up on the fish they want to get before they get them. I have one oscar in a 75 & it's about a minimum. I raised him in a 55 which he outgrew in less than a year.
you cant to mach aquaristiXX .. get home ale loose...., look at this TANK !? Perfect ! but when they grow in a YEAH , he will be must lost 5th of them.. only 2 of them will be there 4ever. so let them grow in this beautiful TANK
@likhithramesh I had 2 together for many years, they will occasionally have a fight but usually its just a few pecks and they got over it.
I kept mine in small tanks when they were fry but once they got bigger they need to go in a larger tank...I dont believe in scraping bare minimum with such a large specie of cichlid.
i have 3 oscars and two bala sharks and a pleco and another fish that gets about a foot long all in a 20 gallon tank with all the necessary thing to keep them happy! there all babies so there happy where there at right now and yes in a few months im going to upgrade to a 60 gal and then to a 150+ gal. your fish are fine as long as you get a bigger tank as they get bigger. fish are cool =)
@DrummerJohn100.... there probably still all juiced up from the hormones an wht nt tht they put in their water to bring out their adult coloration, it took my two pairs (2 albino red tigers and 2 reg red tigers) almst five er six mons to go from juiced up to dull back to some coloration, their now jus getting back to a little more then half of what it used too
DUDE you cant just buy a retty fish because you want it. eachof those will get to about a foot. your tank is gonna be barely big enough for them to turn around in!
Those guys look awesome. check out my new tank in my vids buddy. got a 4 oscars in a 150 gallon tank. Need to get some lights in the tanks still but it going good so far. ROCKIN BUDDY.
pretty tank, but holy shit is it way too small for 6 Oscars you couldnt even have one adult in here.... boy if you dont sort this out they will all die :(
55 gallon great for one oscar but any lower and i have to admit thats like abuse if their fully grown. im gonna get a oscar,55 gal and maybe a red eared slider turtle
I've got a 85 Gal Chiclid Tank, There are about 5 pairs of African Ciclids which are all about 3 inchs each, What i would like to know is if I can have a Pair of Oscar in there which are about 5 inchs. Would the Oscar harm the cichlids or will the Chiclids Nip the fins of the Oscars considering that Oscar move Slowly.
@donbosco225 the south american cichlids like different water conditions than the african cichlids, particularly when it comes to pH and water hardness. Oscars get up to 15 inches and can be very aggressive and territorial. Generally it is recommended to have 75 gallons for a single oscar, but you can get away with 55 as a minimum so you would not have room for even one, let alone 2
@OmgLowBattery how so ? there is know way u could have 2 fully grown oscars in a 30 gallon tank and even know they may not be fully grown O's grow around 1 inch a mouth till around 10 inchs then slow down but O's can hit a massive 14inch sometimes bigger if u want a healthy O minimum tanks size 55g + 20 g for each additional O. 5x filter turnover for Canister filters 10x for H.O.B & Internal
idk why people are saying a 55 is good for a oscar. no they need a tank 18 in wide atleast. id rather have a tank that is overstocked than a tank that my fish can't turn around in. check out my vids and see the proof
It's not that a 55 gallon can't work. It's just what is more advisable. A 55 gallon CAN house 1 oscar, and yes it will be tight in he width department but doable, and the oscar isn't necessarily going to feel any ill effects from it.
75+ obviously would be ideal and preferable. But saying you CAN'T keep an oscar in a 55 is not true and the oscar will do fine.
...also. I disagree that an overstocked larger tank is preferable to a smaller tank size. If I have an overstocked 75 or 90 gallon obviously I'm dealing with water quality issues, something that is far more potentially harmful to the fish. I'd prefer a slightly small tank with immaculate filtration and water rather than a larger tank with crappy water because it's overstocked.
@johnnyphoenix74 um its not that it will get sick. its that the oscars head will bend to one side. some times it goes away and most of the time it doesnt. and a 40 or 50 breeder is cheaper any way so idk why people don't buy them
@penthouserocks you have stunt their growth, this can cause a shorter life and many health problems for the fish. do you know how large oscars get; ~25 inches or larger.
I have 4 oscar fish. 2 are 15 inches 1 is 10 and 1 is 3 inches. I recommend you getting your two oscars a much larger tank, and really good filtration.
1 Oscar needs at least 55g of water, and a 55g tank would be ok but the dimensions are no good. They are not wide enough for the Oscar to turn around. A 75g tank is better (you can fit 2 Oscars) but a 55 will work for one Oscar
Wow you are a true dumbass. For 6 oscars you need at least a 350g tank!!!!! You can't fit even 1 in a 20g tank. I wish I could come and stuff you in a closet and make you live your life in it. And Dlobom, you're an idiot too, that 1 inch of fish per gallon is a general guideline for keeping small fish such as tetras, it doesn't work for large fish like Oscars. If an Oscar is kept in a tank that small his wastes will stunt his growth and his jaw will continue to grow, making him looked deforemed
i have an oscar in a 48gal along with many(seriously, many) other fishes.... He's fine, starting to get stunted though and is now 12cm... he hasn't grown much so i need a larger tank... if u keep it in a tiny tank you won't see your oscar all grown up which is bad because i think adult oscars look more awesome...
I have an oscar with a green severum in a 45 gallon. The oscar is a year and a half old. The green severum is 4 years old. Don't beleive that you need at least a 55 gallon tank for 1 oscar, but, you will need a bigger fish tank for those fish . They will get MUCH bigger.
I have an oscar in a 25 gal, with 2 pirahnas, and hes fine, and I got a lot more decorations, dont mind all these people, its recomended 55 gal for 1 oscar, but that doesnt mean youre gonna have any problems, just dont over feed it, and start thinking about getting a bigger tank in the next 6 months
haha i like it but i hope your u grading i have has many of these fish they get lazy when there older. so when u upgrade get at least a 150 gallon tank they'll be happy
can someone tell me how many gallons my tank is ( 30" LONG X 14" HIGH X 12" WIDE) coz i got ONE 4.5" TIGER OSCAR IN IT AND HOW LONG CAN HE STAY IN THERE FOR LONG?
@temper1995 You can have up to 1 1inch fish per 1gallon So if you have what sounds like a 30gallon tank your Oscar can stay in there till he is about 25inc or he cant turn around or you feel he can swim and be happy eneymore
i must admit, when i was a young hobbiest i overstocked my tank too :(
it takes a lot of self control to realize that your fish will out grow your tank. when u go to return the least favorite of the lot, no one will want them.
you sluty bitch with a cunty brain you oversized boy fucker. your such a fuckin ass bitch. you badass /fuckass/dumbass/fatass craphole with a fuckin mind full of mother fuckin bitchy boy crapin pussy with a wossy faggot
yea they are going to need a bigger tank 1 oscar needs a min of 55 gallon the the genaral rule is 1 gallon per inch of fish not tip to tip but entire body surface area 1 five inch long oscar could be 15"-20" so yea even here they should not be in this tank because the produce mass amounts of waste so the waste to water ratio here is bad
You guys are all mouthing off but all you have to do is wait until they get huge and start to take a shit that will put some humans to shame and then you will see the need for a bigger tank. Good luck though to the video owner. They are very pretty fish.
55 gal is FINE, if you do frequent water changes. hell 3 gal is fine if you change the water ever 15min. people who say you need bigger tanks only mean you need a bigger tank so you don't have to constantly have to do water changes.
damn expect those oscars in this vid to get sick in a few weeks, they wont survive long, 2-3 oscars needs at least a 55 to live, if you do frequent water changes at least every 2-3 weeks
they are not opinions they are straight facts from oscar fish keepers, in my 55 i already have a severum, green terror, blood parrot, needle gar, bichir, a pleco and an OSCAR, they are all quite small and im starting to see problems with them already such as too much pollution, and territory issues, expect those oscars to killeach other when they grow big if u want them to live together healthy and peaceful get a 6-8 foot tank
hey- just curious where are they today? I have one 3" tiger in a 20 with a 7" plec that i have had for a while also what filtration are you running? thx
what gallon aquirium is this pilip1noy because this tank doesnt even look like a 20 gallon tank compared to mine i bet your tank is a 29 or 30 gallon.
i love the crayfish and oscar thing. did the oscar fight with the crayfish or the other way around? cause i would like to get a blue lobster in my 20 gallon oscar tank.
yo im doing the same thing i got the Albino a Lithiano(Idk if thats the correct spelling) the Red Oscar an the Tiger Oscar (the black an yellow one) now i want the Black an orange tiger oscar & then what other coulours do i need??
bad choice to buy 5 ocars for a small tank u prob didnt know oscars get big around 15" now either u buy bigger tank or fry team n eat them (jokin) giv them bck even for free. nxt time ask how big fish gets
@PiLiP1NOY man i ave 3 red tiger oscars of 11-12 Cm each i have them from september 2009 now they are not growing so fast...what i can do? i should just wait?
@hamsikElavezzi how large is your tank? with oscars get good filtration, clean water, a large tank and feed them every 4-5 hours it makes them grow larger. do at least a 25% water change every week
it really depends on your oscars, such as their size. if they are small from 1in-4inches around 3 pellets per oscars every 5 hours. if they are 5inches-8 I would usually double in food and so on. once a week boil some peas and take out the skin and put one per oscar for a heathy digest. you can put in some feeders but dont feed them feeders too often bc fish contain fat and dieases unless you breed your own as me, FF are good exercise for oscars.
@hamsikElavezzi I feed my oscars FF at least once a month. keep in mind oscars are carnivores you should feed them wax worms, meal worms, blood worms, mysis shrimp, etc; at least once every other day or so. this also means you should do a 25% water change w the gravel vac every week since they produce a lot of waste, also, clean your filters, and invest yourself one of those heavy duty filters.
Sell them to people with large enough tanks or look into getting a massive tank or two to house them in! I know this was posted a year ago, but I sincerely hope they are not still in that little tank.
I'm starting my 1inch baby oscar in my 40gal tank. Within 6 months he is going to be going in atleast a 100gal tank. These guys get big and fast! They produce so much waste it is not funny either.
You can tell by dilution of wastes, how prone your cycle is to bumps and the concentration of GIHs (growth inhibiting hormones) in the water.
Obviously first your tank needs to be able to handle the bioload and support the fish with a cycle. But even if your tank can do that if the GIHs get to high your fish will be stunted, not grow, and therefore be weak and prone to disease and die.
Its worth getting a water sample tested at a lab for all contaminants so you know if your ok.

MrDk1122 2 years ago
yea they are going to need a bigger tank 1 oscar needs a min of 55 gallon the the genaral rule is 1 gallon per inch of fish not tip to tip but entire body surface area 1 five inch long oscar could be 15"-20" so yea even here they should not be in this tank because the produce mass amounts of waste so the waste to water ratio here is bad

You guys are all mouthing off but all you have to do is wait until they get huge and start to take a shit that will put some humans to shame and then you will see the need for a bigger tank. Good luck though to the video owner. They are very pretty fish.

55 gal is FINE, if you do frequent water changes. hell 3 gal is fine if you change the water ever 15min. people who say you need bigger tanks only mean you need a bigger tank so you don't have to constantly have to do water changes.
paranoid1123 2 years ago 2
damn expect those oscars in this vid to get sick in a few weeks, they wont survive long, 2-3 oscars needs at least a 55 to live, if you do frequent water changes at least every 2-3 weeks

why do you even know what you are talking about or are you just repeating what you hear? tell facts not opinions.
paranoid1123 2 years ago 2
they are not opinions they are straight facts from oscar fish keepers, in my 55 i already have a severum, green terror, blood parrot, needle gar, bichir, a pleco and an OSCAR, they are all quite small and im starting to see problems with them already such as too much pollution, and territory issues, expect those oscars to killeach other when they grow big if u want them to live together healthy and peaceful get a 6-8 foot tank

so many Oscar!!!
the size of 1 oscar can reach up to 13 inches (33 cm). you should research first before owning too much Oscar.
it is better if you have a 385 gallon fish tank, that is the better aquarium for your 7 oscars.

@hamsikElavezzi how large is your tank? with oscars get good filtration, clean water, a large tank and feed them every 4-5 hours it makes them grow larger. do at least a 25% water change every week
NaomiHa 1 year ago
@NaomiHa i use food for turtles hammarus and chironimus 3 oscars how much foos each 5 hours how many GAMMARUS?
hamsikElavezzi 1 year ago
@hamsikElavezzi food for turtles?
it really depends on your oscars, such as their size. if they are small from 1in-4inches around 3 pellets per oscars every 5 hours. if they are 5inches-8 I would usually double in food and so on. once a week boil some peas and take out the skin and put one per oscar for a heathy digest. you can put in some feeders but dont feed them feeders too often bc fish contain fat and dieases unless you breed your own as me, FF are good exercise for oscars.
NaomiHa 1 year ago
@hamsikElavezzi I feed my oscars FF at least once a month. keep in mind oscars are carnivores you should feed them wax worms, meal worms, blood worms, mysis shrimp, etc; at least once every other day or so. this also means you should do a 25% water change w the gravel vac every week since they produce a lot of waste, also, clean your filters, and invest yourself one of those heavy duty filters.

@PiLiP1NOY
Sell them to people with large enough tanks or look into getting a massive tank or two to house them in! I know this was posted a year ago, but I sincerely hope they are not still in that little tank.
I'm starting my 1inch baby oscar in my 40gal tank. Within 6 months he is going to be going in atleast a 100gal tank. These guys get big and fast! They produce so much waste it is not funny either.

@tambostorm thing is people say 55gal for an oscar some say 75gal some say you only need a 40gal so really how do we know

@ripstickcamp
You can tell by dilution of wastes, how prone your cycle is to bumps and the concentration of GIHs (growth inhibiting hormones) in the water.
Obviously first your tank needs to be able to handle the bioload and support the fish with a cycle. But even if your tank can do that if the GIHs get to high your fish will be stunted, not grow, and therefore be weak and prone to disease and die.
Its worth getting a water sample tested at a lab for all contaminants so you know if your ok.
