x2 as long as you have no tropical fish, cold water fish will be ok or are you fishless cycling.

fishless you buy some ammonia,( or pee in your tank a bit... )
With fish you'll have to buy some goldfish or small other fish and feed those a bit to get the ammonia you need .
I'd go for the goldfishcycle.
Goldfish are easy to rehome, once you have to take them out, when your oscar is going into the tank, when the cycle is up and running.
Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

Goldfish are the cheapest way to go

I would start with 12 feeder goldfish. They are about 15 Cents each at any pet store in the US!

I would get enough goldfish so that they weigh at least twice as much as the oscar/s you are going to buy. You cant have too many goldfish but you can have too few. also feed them well when cycling
