One Oscar needs around 20 Gals. Two can survive in about 30 gals. If you wish to rear Oscars you will need at least 5 young fish to avoid deaths from bullying and you will need to house them in at least a 50 Gallon tank.

An Oscar fish should ideally be kept in a tank that is at least 75 gallons in size. Oscars are large and active fish that require ample space to swim and grow comfortably. A larger tank will also help maintain water quality and reduce aggression among tank mates.

They are medium size now but they will grow so best to get the right size tank for them now so you are not buying 2 or 3, for 2 full grown Oscars its good to give them each about 30 gals each, so for them to do well and live longer go for a 50-60 gal tank
