Hi im lewis from cambridge, i have a 350ltr aqua one corner tank with two 4and half inch albino oscars and two 4 and half inch black tiger oscars.
Iv had them just over a month and they have tripled in size.
Fell in love with them, my missis is very confused about how much time i spend with them but hey.
They share the tank with my 15 inch pleco.

Welcome to the site Lewis, great to have you on board

your tank is around 77 gallons. I can see you running into water quality problems at some stage. At the moment, your fish are quite small, but as you have already established, they grow very quickly. Unfortunately I can see running into water quality problems at some stage. I'm just want to make you aware of this. We would normally only recommend a tank of your size for 1 oscar and maybe a couple of smaller tank makes.

Anyway, look forward to seeing you on the boards and do not hesitate to ask any questions

Hi ofl
I will defiantly be looking into a bigger tank then, perhaps the bloke in the fish store was just trying for a sale. I gave them the dimensions of my tank and he said 4 oscars?
Thanks for letting me no.

Lewass, Hi and welcome!!!

The advice the boss gave you is spot on.. And your right the LFS just want to make money.. You will either need a bigger tank, or another tank.. Good luck hun.

welcome to the forum! i went thru a similar story! i had to donate one of my o's after they got around 8 inches because they got too crowded and decided to kill one another.

Welcome to OFL

A lot of LFS will give you bad information. When you find a good one or a worker who knows what he is talking about still with that place
