And if you plan on keeping both oscars, you're going to need either 2 55 gallons or a 100+ gallon since oscars need AT LEAST 50 gallons each. Also, tiger barbs should be kept in groups of at least 5. For the current 55, I suggest finding a new home for the kissing gourami and buying 4 more tiger barbs (they can be really nippy so watch the fins on the angel). That will fill up that tank just about right. For the oscars, like I said, you're going to need either 2 more 55 gallons or a 100+ gallon. With the oscars already at 4", they're going to be too much bioload for your tank in another month and in another 2 months, they are going to start reaching maturity (kind of like fishy puberty) and will get very territorial and start killing everything else in the tank. So you need to do something about them VERY soon. By: snowman7101 (owner) @ 8/18/2005 7:12:22 AM Pics coming soon. You must be logged in to post comments.
