What size tank would i need for all of these fish once they are fully grown?

[rocker_254]

I am getting a 150 gallon or a 250 gallon for my birthday? I think they 250 would be fine?

1 Oscar
1 Pleco
1 black shark
4 bala sharks
1 Black ghost knife fish

Ithink a 250 gallon tank would work. Remember that these are somewhat aggressive fish, pay attention when they are all combined or you could lose quite a bit of them.

OMG!!!! I am so excited for you!! It would be SWEET to have a 250 gallon!!!! As for the answer to your question-I think you'd be fine with the 150 gallon. But-just think of all the fun you could have with a 250 gallon!!! Happy belated birthday and enjoy!!!!!

The 150 gallon would be fine, but always get the biggest tank you can. Cheers Max

I would not put a ghost knife with Oscars. Instead I would learn how to obtain a pair of Oscars and keep them, since they are social and are much nicer to keep in pairs.
