I have a 112 gallon tank and am researching the possibility of having 2 Tigers oscars, and 2 convicts. Will this work? If not what other fish can I have with the Tiger Oscars? Thanks for the help.
We LOVE our Oscar's!!!!Dimensions of the tank would help. Most if not all people on this forum would probably advise against having 2 oscars in this size of a tank.
When getting 2 cichlids you also never know if they will get along as they grow up. The convict harem idea is interesting. Convicts can be interesting fish.
I love oscars. If you are set on getting oscars feel free to ask questions. If you put them in the size tank you mentioned you would probably (most would say definitely) need to move to a larger tank as they mature.
Again, if you are set on oscars, make sure you read up. They are quite a bit of work. If they outgrow the tank they are difficult to give away.
The dimensions are, 5’x18”x24” (LxWxH)What is the footprint of the tank?
4ft long x 2ft wide?
If so I would not suggest getting the Oscar's at all. Instead since you like Cons, set up a Con harem tank. You could do a Male and three females. If you wanted could pic the more colorful cousins of the Con like Honduran Red Points, or A. Nanolutea.
Get a nice dither fish like Swordtails. A bottom feeder like a small Synadonis cat or Cories that are from West side of the Andes.
