there is a bar next door to my house that I go to religiously. In the corner of the bar they have a 55 gallon aquarium housed by two oscars. The oscars are 12" each. They have been living together in the same tank for as long as I have been going to this bar, probably about 2 years.
I brought this up to the guys at the LFS I go to and one guy was saying he has an Oscar, green terror, and a jack Dempsey all living together in a 75 gallon tank peacefully besides the occasional chase.
I have always been intrigued by oscars and their amazing personalities and I noticed these fish do not move with much activity unless they are chasing food.
Why is it that people say oscars need a minimum of 55 gallons and why do some people get away with a lot less space?
