Help. I bought a 60 gallon aquarium and 3 Oscars, I have founs out that the tank will be to small for al three, what size tank would I need for them?
All responses welcome.

I will say up front that I've never kept Oscars myself. IMO you would need at least a 125 for 3 oscars, but a 180 would or larger would bet even better. Also, you might get more help by posting this in the South American section. Hope this helps, and good luck.

james1983. Thank you for the information, i will use it wisely. Also of note I plan on getting a 6 FT tank this year. my Oscars are happy and thriving, they are very active and the water test well!!
Your O's should be alright in the 60 for 6-8 months before they need the upgrade. I would start planning and looking for a larger setup soon. It's better to be prepared than to have 3 12" fish in a 60 2 years from now. Oscars grow FAST, and are garbage disposals.
