You will probably see my post about "our" sick oscars!

My name is Jazmin and technically the Ocars arent mine they are my little [or should i say younger] brother's. I bought them as a surprise since he has wanted some for so long. I still buy just about everything else they need so I consider myself an aunt if you will. I'm at home until my husband gets home from his deployment then we are getting Ocars as well!! I have really grown to love them!!

Martin's [brother] tank is a 60 gallon. He did have 4 oscars now only 3 since my whole salt situation. He loves the fish so much and we also have a shark in there forgot what kind its silver with black tips, but it gets along fine. The Oscars names are LuLu, Jedi and Arthur Spooner since I love King of Queens. We are still very new to the whole Oscar world and look forward to learning in order to better treat them and our future ones!!

I look forward to hearing from everyone.

You have come to the right place Jazmin,
first of all, your tank is to small for 3 oscars and a shark, it wont be long until your oscars will need moving.
you will need around a 100 gallon tank for 3 oscars.
2 Tiger Oscars, 1 Lutino Oscar, 1 Jack Dempsey, 3 Clown Loaches, 1 Blue Phantom Pleco.

hi there,

Whereas we certainly don't want to alienate you from our website, I have to concur with the rest of our members. Oscars can grow very large indeed. I wish I could show you my Oscars in my 300 gallon tank, I think you would be openmouthed at how big they have got in less than two years. what type of filtration have you got? I appreciate that it might be difficult for you to give us detailed information, a good description would be a start. I'm just worried that once the Oscars start growing, you are not going to be able to keep your water in the condition that needs to be to keep Oscar's healthy. Unfortunately, oscars are not the hardiest of fish when kept in poor water conditions. Three adult Oscars in 60 gallons of water will not work, period. Even with good filtration, I doubt very much whether there is enough water to keep up with the amount of waste large fish like Oscars produce.

Anyway, I know that this is probably more negative than you wanted to hear, we are just here to help and advise people on how to keep their fish healthy in the long run.
