Growing up my StepMom had her Oscar in a 10gallon tank...and when he got to be about 7 - 8 inches long it looked too crammed...so I know they need bigger then that...

Jed's going away to the MArine's and that 10gallon tank I;ve been cycling *~AMmonia and Nitrate problems...~* is now set to go for fish...Jed wanted to put in Oscars into it...so me and Daniel as a going away present got him an Oscar who he named Akira...

for right now Akira's in the cycled 10gallon tank with a couple of plants and some rainbow colored jug thingie...she's about 1-3inches in lenght so for right now that tank will do...I know they grow roughly an inch a month...so in about a month we'd need to get her a bigger tank...

I'm wondering what size is the best for a full grown Oscar? jus 1 Oscar in the tank that is...we are going to get another Oscar eventually too...but for jus 1 Oscar what's the minimum tank size you'd recommend? and for 2 Oscars? and is there some type of a scale to go by? I know tis 1inch of fish to a gallon of water...but for Oscars the 7-8inched Oscar my stepmom had in a 10gallon tank didn't seem big enough for him...

thanks for the help!!!
