@supersanchez1991 No..1 oscar will outgrow a 55 gallon in a years time easily. A 55 gallon has a 12" width footprint. A full grown oscar can easily reach 15+ inches with good care. You'll end up stunting its growth. Oscars are prone to HITH because they are messy eaters, produce massive bioloads, and people don't give them enough water changes. If you can fit a 55 gallon then you can fit a 75/ 90 gallon. It's not that much more expensive. Same length..but much wider width....18" instead of 12"

ii see u have two filters right? are those good enought to keep the water clean?

@redoscar21 really a cool tank.i dono how ur oscars are getting along...one of my dudes killed my female a couple of days back :-(

That's a albino tiger oscar you can tell because of the black shade on his Head
-
can i put 3 oscars in a 55 gallon tank or will that be too much? how many oscars can i put in a 55 gallon tank?

Oh he is magnificent. He seems to get along with your big Tiger Oscar too. I use to own an Albino Oscar who looked a lot like yours. If fighting gets to rough make sure you take him out though, he is smaller then your other two by quite a bit. Also make sure your tank lid is tight, I once added a new Oscar to my tank, my others got so mad they CHASED him out of the tank, I had two bricks on the top of the tank and he hit it so hard trying to escape it knocked both of them off and he leaped out.

In response to Redoscar21: I currently only have the Tiger & Red Oscar, Green Terror and 3 Tinfoil Barbs. I let go of some of the other fish. Either way, look at your african cichlid tank, talk about over stocked? Either way it's all good. 125 gallon tank is big and with the proper filtration and mix of fish it's not a bad thing.

Awesome oscars. I just set up a 55 gallon so I can have a red oscar because I like the reds the most.

Great, enjoy your oscar! A nice tank mate to add would be a nice little jack dempsey or a convict. After that, don't add much of anything else and you'll be ok so long as you have ample filtration. Again, enjoy! They grow fast!

Well, I got the Tiger and Red oscar when they were approx 1" and they've made a bond since that time. I added 2 more big Oscar's (you can see in more recent videos) and it's a miracle that they all get along fine. I would say to get a big enough tank, put sufficient decor / plants / rocks and feed them well and you should be fine. Oscar's seem to be mostly bark but now bite. They open their mouths but rarely do any damage, so don't panic if you ever see your O's barking at one another.
