I have a 8" pleco, a 1 1/2" oscar and a 2" oscar in a 46 gallon bowfront now. I'll be needing to upgrade in a few months. Is a 72 Gallon bowfront big enough for 'em??

Are you able to go larger?  when both oscars are 8" long, the 72 will be too small.    If I remember correctly I saw a 150 gallon bowfront at the lfs, it was quite nice, and would fit these fish perfectly.

Just out of curiosity...

Why do you want a bow front tank??

I have a small one and and don't like it. I like to see my fish as they are, not distorted by the tank.

just in case I had missed something that the larger tanks offer.

Cheers

My tank does not distort the way the fish looks of you look at it head on. Any tank will distort the way it looks as you move farther away than 90* in relation to the glass. I just like the way the bowfront looks. Everyone has a rectangle tank. Is there a size below 150 gallons that would work? around 110-125. I jyst live in a small apartment.

Ok, I can't find anybowfronts that large. Anyone know of a website? I've found some good rectangle(  :'(  )ones on petwharehouse.com.  90-120 gallons fits my budget.
