oscar and jack dempsey

Question
i have a 30 gallon freshwater fish tank with a 6 inch tiger oscar and a 5.5 inch jack dempsey and i was wondering if anything else could go in the tank with them. they both have been in there together for about 3 months now and are doing fine. or would i need to get a bigger tank before putting anything else in a tank with them.

Answer
Hi Alexx

You'll need to get a much larger tank if you want to put any fish in with the Oscar and Jack Dempsey. The 30 gallon is too small for the Oscar and Jack Dempsey. I recommend at least a 40 gallon tank for a single Oscar. For the Oscar, Jack Dempsey and other tank mates, you will need at least a 75 gallon tank.

Hope this helps, good luck!
