if the twenty five gal is only temp you should get a canister filter. imo eheim and fluval are two of the best brand on the market rena also make a good filter. what is comes down to it price. also i would get as big of a filter as you can(gph).remember you can never overfilter an oscar tank. if your looking for a hob type filter aqua clear and marineland make the best for smaller tanks.

also a 25 gal is way small for 2o's you should be looking in 100gal+ range. they will outgrow a 25 in a very short time
Warning..I will offend you at some point!!!


my goal is simple a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all

I agree with necromancer, get the biggest filter you can afford. You will need at least a 75g for 2 oscars so go for a fluval 405 or equivalent

Get a move on with the new tank, oscars grow really really quick
