    I would get a 75 gallon tank, and get a Eheim 2217, and a Aquaclear 110 or a Emperor 400. This will provide you with a ton of filtration, and surface movement. Oscars are big, messy fish. The bigger the tank, and the more filtration the better.

    that tank is a bit small... so I would go with a canister rated for 75 gallons and two HOB 55 gallon filters, it may be a lot but an Oscar is a huge and messy fish, good luck

  • You can get a filter that supports a 75 gallon tank.
