When my cousin gave me his 5 inch Oscar, I was desperate to get it out of the 10g that he had it in so I bought a 33g tank since that was all I had money for. Originally I was only getting the Oscar but somehow a JD joined the 10g and came along for the ride. I now understand that an Oscar needs a 55g tank or so to keep it happy. The Oscar is 8 inch long. I am saving up for a 55g tank, but I don't know how long it's going to be until I can afford the tank, filter, heater, etc.. The Oscar is getting along well with the JD right now. At the size the Oscar is right now, can it go a little longer in the 33g? The water conditions are checked regularly and everything is fine.
