Tank setup for a Oscar

Hi,

I'm new to all this, I'm thinking of getting an Oscar, i just need help on what size tank to get, they told me a 200-250L tank should be fine, Filtration, heating, should i add plants...basically i just wanna know what to get and what's it going to cost. i wanna make sure my Oscar is going to be happy:bigsmile:.

 

Bigger tank. Oscars get huge

 

What size is going to be perfect and what the price for such a tank??

 

@elmariachi where do you stay so we can help you to direct you to the best places in your area.

 

I stay in Randburg, Johannesburg. Here's a pet shop close to my house but they are useless

 

Ok there are a few people in your area that has got sound knowledge to help you with your new quest and if you can wait two weeks I can give you a oscar.

 

ok....but let me get my tank sorted first, what do i need i regard to size of tank, filtration ect... and how much does it cost????

 

Plants and Oscar's dont work out most of the time

 

I would say 350 to 400L tank with sump filter would work( you can look on the junk mail some times you get them cheap) cause I know it's not gonna stay with one oscar, filter wise if your tank came with a sump get a 1200L/h cannister filter (I prefer Tetra Tec they come with all the filter media aswell) or what ever you can afford.

 

how much does a 400L tank cost??

 

I can get you a 800L for R1500
