A broken heater can cut your Oscar over heat your tank or in the worst scenario electrocute and kill your Oscar. Pretty much any heater that is glass is a bad idea for an Oscar tank. These are the type of heaters that I would recommend for an Oscar fish aquarium.

You want a heater that is shock resistant.

Oscar fish If you don t have the availability or already have a glass heater then you need to protect it somehow. One of the best heaters i ever used was manufactured by a company called aqua medic. They manufacture single heaters up to 500 w which is perfect for aquariums up to around 125 gallons. They are made of titanium and are virtually indestructible the oscar would You might need to be careful about putting some specific fish species in the tank with the oscar fish. You want to avoid putting smaller peaceful fish next to the oscar fish as they will become prey quickly. Also try to avoid having other smaller animals in the tank like the smaller invertebrates shrimp snails and other similar creatures. Therefore your oscar fish tank should have a good quality aquarium heater. Oscars grow up to 10 inches and a 50-gallon aquarium will prove to be very small for 2 adult fish at this size. Keeping oscar fish for a very long time will mean providing them with enough large living space to thrive in as they grow large very quickly

Posted by alisha b i have a situation next month where i am going to have to have my oscar out of my house for about 24 hours as my house will be heated to 140 degress for 8 hours and needs time to cool.unfortunatly moving the fish tank out is not an option would jill my oscar be ok in a 20 gallon tank that has filtration and a heater for that span of time In addition to filtration heating is also very important in an oscar tank. Because these fish come from a tropical habitat they require warm water generally within the 77 to 80 f range. To achieve this you will need to equip your tank with a quality aquarium heater. Ideally you should place a submersible heater near the return valve of The oscar fish is one of the most intriguing tropical freshwater fish in the entire hobby. Here is everything you need to know to start raising oscars in your home aquarium including their tank conditions their preferred diet and all the information you need to breed them successfully. Oscars are tropical fish. They must have a heater. They are not cheap fish to keep as you will need at the very very least at a 55 gallon tank for just one 75 gallons is recommended though .

And you need double filtration because they are messy. Though in the tank with him is a pleco ghost which is the same size. I had to give ghost plenty of hiding places because an oscar will gut out a pleco s belly. So i don t suggest putting another fish in the tank with an oscar if the tank is smaller than a 55 gal or smaller though the tank looks nicer when there are more fish in it. My personal favorite is the fluval e electronic heater. It comes with heater guards that also protect my fish and it should be a boon for many beginners as well. They ve had some quality issues in the past but recent aquarium heater reviews are mostly positive as long as it survives the delivery.
