My tank is 36" (L) x 18" (H) x 15" (W)

It currently houses my little Red Tiger oscar ( Currently 2" )

My friend who owns a pet shop has asked if I would like another 2" Red Tiger.

Would it fit in the tank or has it reached it limits?

Tank is filtered by 1; Aquaflow 50-100l filter ( Filters 200 litres per hour )
and 2 Fluval Plus Internal Underwater Filter Plus Series ( Filters 700 litres per hour )

So the current turn over is 422 gallons an hour.

Is this clean enough for my oscar now?
Could the second oscar go in?

that tank is only 40 gallons. thats not enough room for one fully grown oscar, let alone two. sorry lukas, you need a bigger tank.

Yeah, Win is correct, you will probably run into water condition problems with your 40 gallon tank with one Oscar when it reaches adulthood, having two would be disastrous

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

Ok was just curious. The oscar seems happy with his home. I'm sure with my new job ill be upgrading to a 6 ft tank when my bro moves out ( Yes! ) Lol.
He has the biggest room so i'll be able to get a big enough tank.
