I think you may be a bit overstocked. One Oscar to 55 gallons minimum.
How many gallons does your tank hold?

normally in malaysia, 2 ft aquarium means 2x1x1. means it is a 16 Gal. eric, u need to go buy a BIG 6 ft aquarium..! and use at least 2 power filters at each end. i dont think they sell fluval canisters in any LFS here. u living in sarikei now? if u cant get cichlid pellets, get flowerhorn pellets. otherwise u would hav to order some from kuching or sibu. budget around RM600 for the tank+cover+lighting+stand.

I aggree with the others.
It will be next to impossible to keep those fish happy in the tank they are in now.
Like Win said once: No matter how hard you hope or pray, those Oscars will keep growing!
Neither will a Internal filter do you any good for 3 Oscars.
Internal filters may be good for some mechanical filtration and for creating some current, but for bio filtration you will need a big canister filter to go with the new tank.
You need an upgrade to keep your fish happy, healthy and alive.
Keeping them in a tank that small will give waterquality problems no matter how religious your waterchange scedule will be.

Although this may not be the advice you expected, please let us know what your future plans are!

Our fish don't grow too big, our tank becomes too small!

You need at least a 55g for one oscar and ideally you will need a 405
