Oscar tankmates

[chester82006]

I have a 75 gallon tank with 1 Tiger Oscar, 2 Jack Dempseys, and 2 Fire Mouth Cichlids. They get along wonderfully, but I'd like to add a Green Terror and a Plecostamus in the near future. My Oscar is about 3-4 inches now, and the others are 2-3, and growing. Would the Oscar feel too crowded, or is it ok to put a few more fish into the tank? :sconfused:

Thank you (:

Your already a tid bit over stocked so I would not add any more fish.....

Honestly...IMO your tank is overstocked as it is. I would suggest taking back one of the JDs and one FM, I think that if you were really keen on upkeeping the tank and your fish were mild manored enough you could do the oscar, firemouth and jack in that 75G :) But I would definatly not add any more fish.

I think your going to need a bigger tank! Your oscar on its own will get to be a ft+ long so i'd look at going bigger or get a second tank and split them up, 75g= 1 oscar and 1 tank mate (imo)

Ok, that helps a lot. I will definitely be bringing some back.
