How many oscars?

[Shane87]

Hi, I am going to get some oscars today and would like to know what is a good number? Space isn't an issue because I have a 120g set up ready and I have a 750g I'm building now. I basically want to know how to keep aggression down, I was hoping to get 4-5 O's, do you think this will work?

When will the bigger tank be done?
4-5 in 120 is a nono but in 750 that would be fine I think you want to slowly introduce juveniles to your tank until the bigger one is done and then you can finish the stock

Thanks for the reply, the tank will be done in the next 1-2 months and if I add them slowly what sort of time gap between adding them? I don't want to put 1 or 2 in there to establish a territory and grow then add more and the new smaller ones to get attacked/dominated and die from the stress?

If your 750 will be done in a couple weeks I would just wait

Ok, I think I will probably do that. Thanks
