Answer -
That should be enough to ensure that it is simply monitor your water quality by testing your water frequently. Live or prepackaged food also plays a role in keeping these oscar's in your tank. The water quality monitoring is a simple task, most large retail pet stores that carry fish provide this service free of charge, testing kits are also available for purchase for reasonable prices. If you choose to purchase your own make sure it includes tests for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and high/low pH. Happy fish keeping!!!

Answer
A 29 gallon is a small tank for an Oscar unless he is little yet. Or are you keeping other fish in the 29 gallon? It's hard to say if your current filtration system will be adequate. The best thing you can do is monitor the water quality with ths fish, if your water quality begins to go down that is a excellent indicator your filtration can not keep up. Are you going to move this newly aquired fish into the 75 gallon? If you do move around the decoration in the tank so the fish have to restablish territories in the tank. I need some more information to help you better. Hopefully I am going in the right direction for you. Happy fish keeping!!!
