Welcome aboard Mike. Very nice to meet you.

I too am a sufferer of MTS (and I feel BTS coming... big tank syndrome :D). What's the line on your 55? Are you into cichlids or are the community fish more your thing?

Cool Toyota tech! My wife has a '01 Celica, I might need some repair advice later. It needs a catalytic converter, new brakes & IMO a turbocharged engine. :hehe:

Well personally Oscar tank would require a lot bigger tank then a 140! One Oscar requires 55 gallons of water and you can only have one Oscar or they will fight to death when they reach sexual maturity! Unless you have more than 6! And to have 6....you would have to have over 300 gallons! So unless you are going to make "Oscar" be the only oscar in the 140 with other fishy friends (NOT A PACU)...then you might want to look at other Cichlids.
