I have a 260litre tank that has been cycling now for 3 weeks, i want to buy an oscar but to my understanding i can only keep 1 in my tank size. my question is, if i do introduce a small oscar into my tank will he [i]need[i] other tank mates or will be manage on his own?. or should i also add 3/4 angelfish, as recomended by others.??

the only thing i might put a tank that size with on oscar is probably a piece of drftwood.
lhowever if your really feel the need for a tankmate i would look into something that stays small enough like pictus or a small pleco.

but thats me

x2.........

thanks for the reply.. and its not what i want its whats best for the oscar.. if he will be fine by himself or if he will get lonely and need a mate?

id put a plec in

thanks for the quick reply.. wont he get picked on by the oscar? will they be fine if they grow together?>.

if the oscar is by himself will he have lonliness problems?

i have no problems tell me how big in inches is your tank legnth depth width?

length- 100
width -45
height- 75 all in cm
approx, im overseas at the moment and my tank is cycling at home.

to be honest id get a bigger tank from the start that isnt that big look in the free ads or ebay they arent that expensive sorry dude

thanks.. i was thinking to get a 6ft tank in like 2/3 months, and so i thought i could keep 2 little babies till my bigger tank arrives. two little babies would be okay in my tank for a couple months though??? any suggestions?

short term no probs if your getting a 6ft er you got agood selection of tank mates to choose from like more oscars lol
