I think vieja synspilum would really work well in that tank

At this exact moment me and my 13 Years old daughter are checking the Vieja synspilum.... We loved...

Here in the house between the all family members whe are between .. An Oscar, Vieja and flowerhorn.... I mean for now...

I love flowerhorns. The biggest issue is the massive in breeding has weakened them genetically. Alot die young and alot have hex and pass shortly after purchase.
A good run for a fh is 4-5yrs old where as a quality pure cichlid can live for 10-15years.

Another option is herichthys carpintis
Very oscar like, greedy and will jump for food.
Tilapia buttikoferii is another great wet pet, like a mix of all the above.

I have found male green terrors to also be personable, always wanting to be fed.

get a flowerhorn. this is my little guy but you can get a nice large one, they grow to around 10-12 inches and are very social/aggressive.

Almost finishing the house fight with my wife and daughter....

The results are:

Wife: Oscar, flowerhorn and Vieja synspilium

Daughter: Oscar, flowerhorn

Me: Paratilapia polleni, green terror, cuban cichlids, and more...

But it's me who runs the house. That's why I'm the one who will choose the fish...

And the fish will be...

Oscar or Flowerhorn..

Now i just need to take some time to decide between them..

And the hunt will start...

I would’ve gone with a zebra eel

Well that should be an easy choice. Oscars are what i would consider semi aggressive while flowerhorn are territorial and aggressive. If you ever have any ambitions to add any tankmates, such as a pleco or catfish, the oscar will tolerate anything too big for it to eat, while the flowerhorn will most likely kill it.

If you wanted to eventually try a breeding pair or group, green terror or cuban cichlids would be a good fit.

But i didnt give up from that idea....
Im still with this on my head...

Just here between US... Im already looking for an empty big corner in the house.. but that its for a near future..

Breeding pairs or groups are cool, but be sure to have some plan for all the fry youre gonna have.
