Re: Terror or oscar?

Well it depends on the size and filteration of your tank?

Re: Terror or oscar?

For an oscor that's pushing it, green terror it would be ok though with both you'd have to pick tank mates CAREFULLY. What type of filteration do you have?

Re: Terror or oscar?

Do you mean 200 not 2000, if so your going to need much more filteration than that.

Re: Terror or oscar?

You would probably want to invest in a canister filter to add onto your bio-wheel. If you are willing to do that then you could get either fish and somebody else will come along and tell you what brand to get. I know eheim are really good though hard to find if your in the US sometimes. I know about the bio-wheels so if you have any questions ask. And if you want to know how to make cheap filters let me know.
