Severum bullying

[Rohit rai]

15-20 gallons is WAY too small. You'll need a much bigger tank to house those fish. the bigger they get, the more aggressive they'll be. So either upgrade now, or rehome them all and get a fish more suited to a small tank

How big u suggest ??
And m a begginer before this all i raised where goldfishes or carps

Yes they need space but since you dont have it in a 20 gallon thats why I said get plants,decor etc.. to allow the fishing being bullied to hid. I would suggest you get at least a 75 gallon to house these fish. Even a 55 would be better than a 20

actually i know some people who can customise the tank for me
So can u suggest 65 gallon (37*19*25) actually i want it to fit in my 3feet space & if i can add more sev ?

If thats the biggest you can go, youd still need to get rid of some fish soon. A 55 isnt big enough for 2 full grown oscars.

Id say youre pretty maxed out on fish of those species, even with a 65

Those are below 3" and later on i can relocate em to 75 gallon

Actually i wanted to see em grow to their full size and later i relocated em to bigger 75 gallon or may be bigger tank but first i wanted em to grow like a gold nugget in a tank not like a pea sized in large space.

I have severums in both of my tanks, 125 & 150, they need adequate space to swim around. I would never mix severums with oscars. Severums grow to 8" and oscars grow up to 12" If you are wanting 6 fish in your tank, I recommend at least a 90 gallon tank. I have severums and parrots in my tanks, they grow to the same size and there in very little aggression.
