The $1/gal sales at Petco don't. Or lids.
They also cap out at 55 gal, so you'll have to shell out a good amount more for a 90

Go back and beat that guy with the empty bucket.. what's wrong with people?? Looks much better amongst the clean, temperate water.

You should post an ad on your local craigslist with Henry's story. See if anyone has a tank lying around that they will give you or at least very cheap.

Craigslist worked out?
I used to have an Oscar named Walter. I rehomed him when he got too big for my tank and a bigger tank wasn't an option for me. His favorite food was garden snails. When he got hungry he would knock the top of the tank off. Very cool fish with so much personality. 20+ years ago and I still smile when I think about his silly face.

That is awesome.
Do you need bacteria to speed up your cycle? If you do then message me your address and I will mail you some of my sponges Monday to speed up the cycle.

Booom!! If you need some decent filtration for a good price, sunsun on amazon work great for me. Have the big one on my overstocked 75 and it keeps the water crystal clear. Are you going to keep your tank bare bottom?

Something that can be easily vacuumed, an inch of that would be OK, than again.. May have read Oscar's have issues eating gravel that size?? Bb is really the best imo. Easy to clean and maintain pristine water quality.

He's in 2 inches of it now and other than gathering the occasional mouthful and spitting it at the glass he doesn't really mess with it too much
