Hey guys/ gals wut should I add to my tank next I got 1 3.5 to 4 in oscar ( albino tiger) wut should I put in there wit him other cichlids? Or should he stay king of his home alone (55g) thank a in advance for any help

HI THERE THIS THREAD IS IN THE WRONG SECTION....it should be in oscar TANKMATES the moderators will sort it out now tho.............realy your 55gal is realy only big enough for 1 O with no tankmates... hope this helps:)

i concur with bgh a 55 is really only big enough for one oscar without tankmates. even though it might look like you have lots of room now oscar can and will grow to rather large size and in a short period of time it will fill the 55 you have.

the guys had spoken.... i just concur with their
opinion..... LESS is MORE - less fish to have more
space and enjoy more in happy fishkeeping.

Hi, my oscars tank is 4footx2footx2foot, i have two oscars, one albino tiger and one black tiger and two clown loaches. the clown loaches are about 9-10cm each and my oscars are at least 23cm each. is there anything else i can add to the tank and what?

thank you

your tank size is approximately 117 gal capacity.
having 2 x 23 cm oscars (about 9 inches long), the
tank is about to reach its full capacity. the presence
of 2 x 4 inches loaches tank mates will make your load to the limit.
a good filtration and and regular water change will make
your present load okey. any additional will risk you with
water problems due to wastes and bioloads.

ok thanks for that, had my oscars for a while now but you would've had plenty more then 2 so far wouldnt you? would you recomend getting a bigger tank, here in townsville i dont really relate to gallons but what foot should it be? and if u know anything about barramundi please

hello and welcome to the forum ......you would be good with a 6ft x 2ft x2ft tank or a bit bigger if you could.....sorry i have not kept the barramundi ..so i cant help much but i am sure the others will chirp up on that...

ohk thanks

u should just leave o by himself he will be more happy:laugh:
