Just got a new albino baby oscar

[Oscar_jacks]

So is it usuall that all three of my fish (jdx2 and albino oscar) have diffrent spots in the tank and fight whenever another one crosses into its spot?

 

[Oscar_jacks]

I know in big sizes its normal but thhey all are only an inch long and get along great till they go into eachothera hiding spots

 

[Oscar98]

Yes it is normal. They do that at almost any size

 

[Oscar_jacks]

Okay jw bc they were fighting all this morning

What gallon tank is it again?

 

[Oscar_jacks]

50 gallon

 

[Oscar98]

Ok. Its normal behavior

 

[Oscar_jacks]

Do you think a fifty will be big enough for the three?

Do you think a fifty will be big enough for the three?

Not for life.

 

[Oscar_jacks]

What are the dimensions of your current 50g

 

[GBHammbone]

Don't waste your time or money on a 55/75. Go straight to a 125+ if you want to keep those fish.

 

[Oscar_jacks]

3 ft long. 1ft wide. 1 3/4 ft deep

 

[Oscar98]

3 ft long. 1ft wide. 1 3/4 ft deep

Dont get a 55. Just go straight to 100+

 

[Oscar_jacks]

I had full grown dempseys in this tank for 3years and never had issues. 125 will not be a factor for a couple years. 75 is max till then

 

[Oscar_jacks]

75 is biggest i can go till after i move in a year. So ill just go with the 75 till next year then a 125

Ok that would prob work. Others will tell you not but i had an oscar and jd in a 55 for over a year before i upgraded

 

[Oscar_jacks]

I only have a budget for a 75 right now which is why i cant go bigger. But once i move and am settled in ill be able to go 125+. I just need the space and budget for a tank that big

 

[Oscar_jacks]

Which once i move ill have the space so they will be getting plenty of room to grow

Why do my jds roll on there side and scratch off rocks and plants?
