Oscars and tank size.

[AquatiCreations]

It depends on the tank manufacturer.

I have my Oscars in a 90 (same footprint of a 75, just taller) and in a 100. I also have seen them in 55's and they can't move around in them. Like MsJ said they need room, more water and more filtration than a 55 because they are so messy. You want a fun fish you gotta pay.

None of this is a problem at all, I was just wondering about the center brace because of "aerobatic" purposes. : And that it can be a pain when maintenance time comes 'round. which means I'd have to payout for euro bracing.

The tank I will most likely be getting would be a standard AGA tank.

Thanks again guys!

I am going to recommend a 5 ft tank for plenty of swimming room and at least a tank that is 18 inches wide! Typically a 75g is adequate.
