I love oscars. I have such fond memories of the oscars we had when I was a kid. Those are nice looking oscars you have (though I have never much cared for the albino ones).
 
looking good. you will need a larger tank when all three grow larger. i just took down my 120G recently i had 3 oscars (same as you one of each) a jack dehmpsy, and some type of catfish no one knew what it was. my oscars all grew to about 14" albino, 16"red, and the tiger got to a whopping 18". the 120 seemed almost too small for the oscars. i highly highly rec. feeding them hikari cichlid gold in the red pouches. colors them up real nice. i sadly lost mine due to the heater going out. grrrrr oh well sold the 120 and started my bigger reef :p i hope to see more pictures when they are bigger!!!!!! by far my favorite freshies. :biggthumpup:
p.s. mine liked hiding places some nice driftwood and larger fake rock sculptures and some fake plants i would suggest.
 
Nice oscars! Love the yellow one too. Use to have an oscar tank way back in the days too they are a fun fish to have.
 
I love my oscars but liek you siad they quickly outgrew their tank. I had a lot of problems with Hole in the Head disease when they got too big for the tank. I was in college at the time so not a lot of extra money around to upgrade from the 55 I had them in.
 
I'm feeding them the Hikari Gold- great food.

Filters are Emperor 400 filled with floss and Penguin 330 filled with zeo-carb (ammonia remover and carbon mix).

Sounds like you got it down :) I had a 120 n had 3 hobs rated to 260 gallons and 2 powerheads to keep flow moving. They're messy haha.
 
live feeders are a good way to transfer diseases. Not too healthy. I did prob 5 times in 4 years or so because as stated it is cool, but can get pretty sick or die.
 
I've been doing it for years without problems. Only time I did was when I opened the bag and dumped the fish and water from the bag into the tank...apparently they put something in the water. At least when you buy them by the 100.
