[Punjabiking1500]

Dudes please help me out with this
I have 4 oscars i tried asking for others fishes I got many responses and found out that my tank is small (70gal) I have purchased a 120 gal tank I want to keep them with tiger barbs can I do so with 4 oscars?

That tank is going to be quite heavily overstocked, I would just stick with the oscars.

I have to agree. With @Hendre it’s good that you’ve gotten a larger tank for your pets but a 120 is the minimum I usually recommend for a single oscar, two at best.
If you add more bioload to the tank you’re basically going backwards.
I know this isn’t what you want hear.

2 oscars max once they get to roughly 6-7" in the 120g. Even fully grown giant danios don't survive long term. I don't care how fast the barbs are, once the lights go out at night, they go into an almost comatose state that the oscars will take advantage of.

Hi hanks for information

Beside the lack of space, at some point, tiger barbs will become bite size snacks for oscars.
Even in a tank of 120 gallons, there will not be enough escape space for tiger barbs to out swim an oscar. The oscars will corner it, and the barb will become a feeder.

fully grown tiger barbs might live like 6 months until they eventually get cornered. you have too many oscars for that tank as it stands maybe just spend the money youd buy other fish with on improving the oscars lives with better filtration, food, decorations, or plants. 4 oscars can live in a 120 its twice as many as should be responsibly placed in a tank that size but they should do okay just dont think you can add more fish because your oscars arent fully grown.

Yeah, to be honest 4 oscars in a 120 is going to be very difficult to keep the fish healthy as adults. If you just bought the 120, and you really want to keep all 4 oscars, I would return it and spring for a 180+. 2 oscars should be fine in a 120; the 4 will be okay until they are adult size, then you will need daily water changes to keep them from getting hole-in-the-head disease, very common for oscars kept in dirty water. I wouldn't add any other fish, since you are already over the tank's capacity.
