can i keep a Tiger Oscar with a Gold Severum , 2 Large Angels and a few Tetras or SD's ?
The aeration in the tank is pretty , if not what can i keep with an oscar and Severum ? the tank is around 90 G or more i have to measure but it's definitely large enough for the fish mentioned. another setup would be : The Oscar , Severum and 3x male convicts ? or maybe the Oscar , Severum and a few african cichlids ?

also what do you guys think looks better on Blue on black gravel ... A tiger Oscar or a Albino Oscar?

*the only fish i have at the moment is the Severum
 
I'd get an Albino, with Pool Filter Sand, not gravel, ass for other tankmates, your pretty limited as is, maybe 3 or so Pictus cats or a couple Bristlenose Plecos..

P.S, whatever you do, don't get blue gravel ..

I second the pool filter sand and definitely avoid blue gravel, over time it gets really annoying on the eyes, not to mention discolored by BB.

severums make a great addition to an oscar tank. angels probably will get their fins nipped at by both an oscar and a severum. a few small pleco species would help as well. look around for some nice oscars...

here is a nice link...http://www.oscarfish.com/article-home/oscars/54-types-of-oscars.html
 
Depending how big this tank actually is, I like the Oscar with Severums and SDs. And I would also pass on the blue gravel. I personally can't stand colored gravel. I like natural colored gravel or sand. But it's your tank.
 
tanks for the suggestions but won't the sand go into my filter ? how do i clean sand ? also my options for sand are black sand or dark brown
 
I've got about 20 Giant Danios, and 5 Pink Convicts M & F. in with my 2 Os. The Danios drop to about 6-10 over the course of a month 1/2 then I get more. The Convicts haven't been touched. I don't think the Os can catch them.
