lots of good stuff, ending with ....
Anyhow, I wouldn't
recommend it these days with inexpensive 150s and 200s for sale down
at PetSmart, but it's interesting to look at how Oscars were kept in
them olden days. --Mark

The problem isn't really the price. I live in an older apartment building on
the second floor, and I don't want my shiny new tank paying my downstairs
neighbor an unexpected visit. :-(

I've done a little research, and according to an architect my floor "should
probably" hold 1,600 pounds. Minus safety factor = about 120 gallons. Since
I will still have the 40, The biggest tank I can really get is a 75.

Or I could sell the 40 too and just buy a 120 gallon .... hmmmm ?
Should I keep my Oscar in the 40 breeder, and have a 75 planted community
tank - or give away the Oscar and have a 120 planted tank ?
Decisions, decisions...

(either way, I'm keeping my 20 long in the kitchen for quarantine /
hospital)
