i have read alot on raising oscars,in ur opinion is 300l big enough?i like blood parrots do dey prefer pairs.?

Answers:
300 liters is the equivalent of a 79 US gallon tank. It's recommended 1 oscar should have a minimum 208 liters(55 gallon) tank. I have a few blood parrots, you could have them singly or in a pair. I've had them both ways, really just depends on the fish. You could put 2 parrots, some dither fish, couple (6)cory cats for the bottom, and a small pleco-bristlenose or rubber lip. If you go with the oscar, I'd just have the oscar and a pleco, just because they're such messy fish, he'd appreciate not being crowded in with other fish. Just be sure to get good filtration either way.

300 liters = 80 gallons .. nice size tank .. I had a blood parrot, loved to dig and really really loved fresh greens. Any type of plant placed in that tank would be gone by morning. I had 1 Blood Parrot in a 50 gallon tank, and that was a good size for him ..

ya the size of the tank is good enough.
oscar's prefer long tanks compared to high tanks.
plus i think u should not put parrot and oscar together as when they grow to 5 inc size they tend to get aggressive.

in the past i have kept 2 full grown oscars with two firemouths in a 35 gallon aquarium (35 * 3.8= 138l) the firemouth had numerous clutches of fry and the oscars lived a long and healthy life. that is as small as i would suggest for 2 oscars. blood parrots are a cross between two types of cichlids and will breed like craze but always produce non viable eggs. you can keep them in pairs but at breeding time they will become more aggressive.

yes it is 55 for 1 72gal for 2 you can pair the Oscar and parrot together if you like they are good tank mates
