If you wish to keep other fish with Oscars you will need a very large tank. The smallest tank to successfully keep 2 Oscars in is 6 foot x 2 ft x 2 ft. Other large Cichlids from the Amazon area can be kept with them. The basic rules of fishkeeping always apply. They are :- 1 inch (2.5 cm) of fish needs at least 1 gallon (3.5 ltrs) of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.

1. Oscars like higher temperatures, around 80F, whereas Koi are more comfortable at around 65-70F
2. Oscars are quite aggressive, and would likely injure the koi.
