How many oscars......

[Antwan]

I have 2 oscars inna 29 gal. right now, they're around 3-4 in. One is an albino tiger and the other is a tiger. I'm gonna have my 90 gal. soon and I wanted to know about how many more oscars I could squeeze in there? As of now, only oscars are allowed in this tank.

2 oscars tops in a 90

i wouldnt do more than just 2 in your 90 at their adult size. they are so robust that any others would be too many IMO.

I guess thats alright. I have a friend that use to have a 55-75 gal. tank with 4-5 good sized oscars and even a giant pleco. I'm just worried cause what if they don't get that big? I'll have 2 small but still big Oscars that I couldn't place another baby oscar or 2 with because they would be too big, and then they're gonna bully the baby.

Can I put anything else in there with them to accent the oscars? Like a big lobster, or a blue crawfish or something...

i think a lobster would kill an oscar, plis i think they are saltwater, hmm anything with claws is risky cuz they can nip away at the fish

Are you sure? I would think that my Oscars would kill the lobsters!! I think their are a few fresh water lobsters, I think. Theres crawfish, but I think there are freshwater lobsters. Anything else I could accent the Oscars with?
