Will this tank hold an oscar?

I was just wondering... I might do it...

lol

Yes.

You need to use the right filtration though.

That's too big for an oscar. A red tailed catfish would fit nicely.

You could do two pairs if you wanted. Why not just get a whale shark? Easier to feed and much calmer

Just get the Oscar as a baby, and it will adapt to the tank.

;)

haha.

Sure an Oscar would fit in there... if you desicated it and ground it into a fine powder... :P

Thanks for the replies, I think if I use a Q-tip and filter that way, I should be fine. My friend has an egg, so this should work out fine.

I'm not stupid though, I realise when the egg hatches the fry will be WAY too big for the tank. I'll just have to wait and see how I am financially regarding a bigger tank.

Again, thanks....
