While setting the tank for Oscars we should pay attention to the largest possible area of the tank bottom, especially the lenght of the aquarium, if we want to keep more than one mating pair of the fish. The width of the tank should enable the fish turning without effort-it should not be less than 60cm. The height is not a priority, but the fish of this size should have at least 50cm of glass height with the minimal layer of gravel.
We do not recommend to keep one fish. Lonely Oscars do not show all of their beauty and often have anormal behaviors like attacking the decorations in the tank.
The mating pair of fish need 450 litres of water (optimal sizes are 150cm of length, 60cm of width, 50cm of heigth). Two calm pairs should be kept in at least 600litres tank, possibly 200cm long (200x60x50cm)Any extra centimetres and additional elements of decorum that could help to state the borders of territories increase the chances of a peaceful co-existance of the fish.
Larger groups of fish need relatively larger tanks, as long as possible. If the group is kept together from the early days of their existence, after maturing the fish can perform not only like a typical territorial cichlids, but can show many more interresting behaviours.
I lecę powiesić. Jeśli ktoś widzi jakieś nieścisłości, proszę o informację.
Wielkie dzięki, Apri Cort
