I have a 65gal tank...and need help?

Question

humm it doesnt have anyfish but can i just get like one indelcent shark...or will it die by its self? and what other fish can i get..oscers or what???...

Answer 1

You can have one shark.  Also, the size of most aquatic animals depends on how much space they have.  

Answer 2

gallons are a good consideration BUT you need to make sure the fish can fit in the tank at full grown length.

example, when i worked in a petshop i would get countless amount of people coming in with a dead pleco saying "he just died, i dont know why" and i would ask, "whats the size of the tank?" and 9/10 the time they would say 10 gallons or under. news flash people, a regular store pleco can reach 2 freaking feet! how is it going to turn, let alone live in a tank that small?! now, the 1/10 time(these will be the larger plecos that lasted a few months) they will say anything over 20 gallons, which then i ask "whats the dimensions?" and come to find out they have what i call a "angelfish" tank. one that is long, tall but barely 6 inches wide. only a few fish species can live in these types of tanks, which can reach any size from 29 gal to 150 gal and up(custom tanks are fun XS)

i suggest you take all this into consideration. and if you get an oscar, PLEASE dont think you can just plop any fish with him/her. cause they EAT OTHER FISH!
