Then why did you say 55 gallons earlier?:3sorry do derail thread op, in my opinion, one oscar would be ok for life with a minimum tank footprint of 48x18 inches.

Hmm. I see then.Read my post again, it says will work for a little while.
Yes, but a 30'' Long doesn't look like much. I would recommend at least 32-48 long:/I am aware they require a tank at least 18" wide. The tank in question is 30"l x 18"w x 24"h. The length was my main concern. I have researched some more and see that 4x the length of the adult Oscar is ideal.
Actually, technically it would have to be 48x18x18 minimum. Aspect like, we would want 75Gallons-Infinite.Well it would technically need to be at least 48" long.
Oh XD I didn't realize. My mistake.As I said I am well aware of how deep the tank needs to be. The question was regarding LENGTH only. You are talking in circles
At the moment, my oscar is in my 54 gallon tank, witch is 3' long, 19 deep, 18 wide. I think that this is better because he has more space to swim up and down and turn. The most important for an oscar is not the vertical space, but both vertical, height and the wideness of the tank.The depth of the tank is most important. But 4' long and18" deep. If you think about it a 12-15" fish turning around would be more difficult in say a 55g 4'x12"deep.
Also the more water the easier to maintain water quality with a messy fish such as a Oscar.
Oh, but eh, i think my tank is fine at the moment until i get my 125 tank and my bigger one to put him in the 120I meant depth, as in front to back... Not how tall the tank is.
There is no petsmart in canada
I did a lot of research, red oscars can go at most 14'', only tigers and ect can got a bit more. But only in optimal conditions.
But if you look, a 75 is 48" x 18" x 21" and 90 is 48" x 18" x 24"
Yeah, i know. I just found out yesterday! I saw one and i was like what the hell? xD There is no petco in what i know though.There is petsmart in Canada just to let you know but I have no idea about oscars
