Oscar Community Tank

Hey everyone...

I was wondering, with the proper tank size and filtration (I am assuming 150gal-300gal) would it be possible to raise 4+ oscars in an oscar only community tank? Or would the male oscars fight over the females as they matured? I am assuming all oscars would be introduced as juvys together.

I am just curious, if I ever got a 300gal someday.

Thanks

Jake

i think with oscars is the old "two is a pair three is a crowd" adage sort of thing, two juvies raised together will be great together, a third would probably get picked on, but i honestly don't know how a fourth would do...IMO sticking with two would be better, you'll definitely run into problems if two of the four start spawning, and even MORE problems if you end up with two pairs and the both start spawning!

yes i agree with agabr it is best for only one pair. ooo or a pair of JDs i think those look rilly cool. but oscars have so much pesonality

if I could get a 300 gal, id definitely have 4 oscars...oscars spar no matter what sex they are...and always will..us as their owners, need to make sure they have plenty of space, decorations that are not sharp, large, or in their way...the bigger and older they get, they are more slow and clumsy like big st bernards LOL ...but they will always spar off against eachother for life
