cichlids, tank sizes, and mates
I am brand new to cichlids and have recently purchased a baby tiger oscar that is about one and a half inches and I also grabbed a jack dempsey of about the same size. As they grow I know my current tanks are too small. What is the minimum size I should go with as I was reading about oscars and did not realize they can reach 18 inches. If I were to go with a 100 to 150 could I add a snowflake eel as they get bigger? I started with guppies and african dwarf frogs and I am now obsessed and I am looking for more interesting fish. Thanks

A snowflake is a saltwater creature.

Re: cichlids, tank sizes, and mates
With an oscar the minimum recommended size is 75 gal. They usually only reach 12 to 13 inches.
