Don't know what a black diamond cichlid is but I would not do another oscar. I have an L-114 pleco that is 11 inches in my 100 gallon and man does he make the mess. Only other inhabitants are 3 8 inch ERH (emporer red hooks) and a 5 inch BN pleco. And my 100 is filled to capacity. If you got rid of your plecs that would free up some space as the commons are messier than the L-114 which is a carnivore. Herbivorous plecs like your mess more than the carnivores like mine.
At the moment all i have is the Oscar and plecos not the diamond cichlid I was wondering if i could have them both in or just the one oscar E.g Combo 2 Oscars and 2 plecos Or 1 Oscars, 2 Plecos and Black diamond sorry for confusing you if I did.

I didn't even know they existed until one day I went to my local LFS and there was a 9 inch cichlid in a teeny 10g aquarium. i asked how much it was but the store said they didn't know what it was so they couldn't sell it till they found out
so i went on the internet and found out and they put a reserve on it. a couple of days later i decided that i didn't want it any more so they took the reserve off it and now 4 months later its still there 
i feel really bad.
