You know the reason I've been a member of this forum for over 3 years and only posted 50 times is because i keep forgetting that all i'm going to get is YOUR TANK ISN'T BIG ENOUGH!!!!
Sorry people but I Know things will have to change a few months down the line but a SINGLE 2" Oscar would not have any appeal in that tank.........

if you dont want to be told your tank isnt big enough then house them in 1 that is . admitedly the tank they are in is fine short term as a grow out tank . and you say you will move them when thee time comes. so the question i ask myself is what size tank have you got in mind for those 4 fish , have you actually got , or even ordered it?

as jenste said , with all the best intention in the world , you cant tell whats round the corner and when the time comes you may not be able to upgrade , and big oscars are not esasy to get rid of .

Accept my apologies, my LFS will be happy to help me out when the time comes

happy to help you out with getting a larger tank or happy to accept the oscars who are out growing your small tank?

They will need a bigger tank in 3-4 months time.

It's not fair to toss a fish back to a LFS, just because you didn't think things through,before buying. So, in 6 months time, when those oscars are half a foot in size and you can't afford a 300ltr tank or plus, you'll toss them back.

They are nice looking fish though

So after taking on board everything, I re assessed the situation and have exchanged oscars and severums for a single rotkeil severum.
He is about 6" and hope he lives a long happy life with us. Sorry about pic quality blackberry camera

At the moment there are 2 bristle noses, 1 reed fish (hope to get 2 more asap) might get a shoal of congo tetras!!!

Any suggestions?
