Whenever i used to keep albino oscars a while back they used to die after a few months so give up with them, sticking to simpler fish now like atfish

Whats the minimum size tank for a single oscar?

this has always been a talking point for oscars,if you give us a bit more info then we would have a better idear.do you want to mix the oscar with other fish or you just looking for one oscar.

i will put my neck on the line here and say for one oscar a min tank size of 200lit of water witch is around 50gals.i think i got that right.lol

i always say if you have got the room then go as big as you can,cos you will only upgrade to a bigger tank.

i'd say a bit larger... maybe 75gallons. still some fishkeepers will say thats too small but meh.

my 50gal is 14" wide, and as oscars get upto 14", 50gal is a bit small.
