Tiger Oscar Cichlid

Tiger Oscar Cichlids need a large tank to be healthy and happy. You should provide them a large home from the beginning. It is not recommended to keep a single Oscar in a tank smaller than 55-75 gallons. Keeping them in a smaller tank may stunt their growth, cause deformities, and shorten their lifespan.
