what size filter? What size are the Oscars?

You Should be 2x the Filter at min.....like a AC70 is rated for 50-70 gallon tank (you should have 2 of them )

honestly , (I am not one to tell people what they should do) but they need to be in a bigger tank. There is really not enough Room. a 36 gallon is ok starting out if you have plans to upgrade.

You'll be doing 50% water changes Daily at min
 
Not 100% sure but I think the minimum tank size for one Oscar is a 70g tank. These fish can get enormous and yours don't look too tiny.

Beautiful fish though!!
 
Yeah they say 1 Oscar is good in a 75 gallon so 2 would probably need a 90 or 125 gallon to be happy.

More so 125 then 90. 75/90 have same footprint ones taller is all. And yes that tank is far to small to house them. That's the reason for the dirty water 1 Oscar has a bio load big enough to dirty that tank up Ina few days, 2 is overkill with poop.
