Yes, two oscars by themselves need a 6ft, 125g to thrive. This is not only for room, but to maintain nitrate levels between weekly water changes.
I just got these oscars so their still babies. One maybe 2 inches and the other 1 1/2 inches maybe. So when I put all these fish in my 100 gallon I shouldn't add more?Yes, two oscars by themselves need a 6ft, 125g to thrive.
Most of these fish have been together since they were tiny little babies and I've read if you add as juveniles the aggressiveness wouldn't be as bad as if just adding in small quantities. I love all my fish and I couldn't image getting rid of any. I'm kind of upset, I didn't realize this was too many even for a 100 gallon.albino Oscar

You will also have problems down the road with the mix and compatibility. Too many bottom feeders and aggressive behavior over all even if you had a 500 gal tank that had a large foot print for territory.....
Do you know exactly which fish these are? The 2 blue ones and the stripped yellow one at the bottom?It's just not being used to one another since you got them as babies. As they mature, they change and gender will come into play. Sooner or later, most times, big fish eats small fish. You have North American cichlids, South American and two types of African. Most with different eating habits and even environment needs. When purchasing fish, you need to think of the end result such as full size, gender, aggressiveness and territory.
