Hey yall my name is sean. I've been in this hobby for about two years now. Im not going to sit here and tell you I know everything cause the fact is I dont. Im always open to criticism and questions.
I currently have a 56 gallon column freshwater aquarium. I have a tiger oscar with fake driftwood. Also in there is some amazon sword dome tall grass and several other plants I cant remember their names. Its a cheap set-up that works really well. Here soon I will be setting up a new aquarium, a second 55 gallon planted aquarium in my bedroom, still trying to figure out what I want in there and how I want it.
Anyways like I said always open to criticism and questions so feel free at anytime to say something.

Hello Sean, welcome to AA!

Oscars prefer a tank that is long, not tall, what are the dimensions he is in right now?
Welcome to AA!

30"w x 18"d x 24 3/4"h

Yea, I would put the Oscar in your bedroom, in the normal 50 gallon tank, and stock this one with other types of fish

Oscars can get stunted in a 50 gallon long because they do not have enough space to turn around in

He seems happy in his tank. I dont think I will move him. Hes been in there. Since I got him two years ago when he was like 2"
