Oscar's

[RyanLikesFishAndBeer]

Well this lady that lives in my town posted on a website called "swap and sell" 2 oscars that need a new home. Everything is free that comes with them so I figured what the ****, might as well get them. The thing these guys have been living in only a 10 gallon tank, and I only have a 20. What am I to do with these 2 monsters... Suggestion's?

Buy a 75g.

Don't get them if you dont have a big enough tank for them. Two full grown oscars are going to need at least a 75 gallon tank.

I agree with that, or find them an appropriate home. A 20 gallon isn't even enough for one Oscar

 

[RyanLikesFishAndBeer]

I know they that big of a tank.. But I'm not sure how to afford that?

 

[Fishkeeper26]

If you cant afford it you shouldn't have gotten them IMO. If you already did try to find a new home...

 

[Ace_te]

Yeah I agree dint get them if you don't have a big enough tank. Just because they are free. They need a good home

If you can find a home for them before getting them then I'd get them.

You could then rehome them and keep the tank they where housed in.

But make sure you have a home for them first!!!

I got them awhile ago, they seem to be okay... One looks a tad sick though I'm going to try to find a home for them ASAP.

If you can't get a bigger tank, go to walmart and get a big rubber garbage can and put them in there. I know it sounds bad but it's better than being crammed in a tiny tank. Just hang the filter off the side and make sure there's lots of aeration. Of course this is only temporary. I really hope you find a bigger tank or someone who has one that wants them.

Craigslist is your best bet for large tanks, cheap.

BTW... Your gouramis arent in the same tank are they...???

 

[RyanLikesFishAndBeer]

Yes, I know I've been searching Craig's list for awhile can't find one I'm interested in.. But no the gouramii's and quite a few others are in a 20g.
