I just wanted to show off my Oscar(Elvis). I'm so proud of him. I'm buying a 210 gallon tank, how many Oscars can I
have in it?

Very nice Osc you have. Personally, I would do two Oscars and a few tankmates.

Hey welcome thats a cool looking O. I would listen to OFL's advice. Two Oscars would be great in that size tank and with a few tank mates.

Very nice o!

Re:Beautiful Oscar 4 years, 4 months ago #9686

Two is right ... you could get away with three, but, usually two would pair up and pick on the third, so two with tank mates is the best way to go as suggested above.

A couple JDs or EBJDs would be nice imhho (in my honest humble opinion)

As well, make sure the size of the new fish will be big enough that your current O won't bully around the new ones too much. JDs grow slower as well. If you current tank is big enough, it would work as a growout tank

i have 2 O's in a 180 gal (6x2x2) with a single male convict and a common pleco. that works well for me..

so stick with the two and get some tank mates i.e cons, sevs, uaru's etc.. with a 210 gal you could have some nice fish in there
Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.

Very nice O. And I agree, if I had a tank that size, I would only have 2 O's, and a few mates!! Keep posting pics!!
