What do people think of x1 Oscar (say about 6" when purchased) in a 48x22(high)x20(deep) tank. Thats about 300 litres, 66 UK GALL, 81 US GALL

Tank Mates, x2 Senegal Bichirs, currently about 4" and x2 Reed Fish, currently about 5"
hmmm, cant shift this name

Well if you get the Oscar smaller and bring it up with the other's it should be ok, but at 6" it may try to to some damage Sad

Hi they said that too many fishkeepers buy them for there community tank and bring them back as they grow to big and get to boisterous for there tetras?
Perhaps they are not advicing them rightly :idiot2:
