I have a fluval osaka 260 with a variety of fish and have wanting to get an oscar for ages never kept one before so i have started preparing i have added an extra filter so now have 2 fluval 305's running on it and had a lid made for my tank as open top and a smaller tank to move most of my existing fish and i am thinking it's enough to house an oscar? Any thoughts, is this enough filtration and large enough to house 1?

Responses most welcome.

Thats 70 gallons right? 41” x 24.4” x 17.7” IMO that would be fine for one oscar.

your filters should have a flowrate of 2-5 times the tankvolume per hour.
