125 upgrade

[Jhitsos]

i just upgraded my 55 gal tank wtih my oscar and green serevum .... im planing on moving the oscar to the 125 as he is to big for the 55 and leaveing the serevum in the 55 ... if possible are there any tankmates taht would go good with a 7 inch oscar

Yeah, depending on his attitude. I'd assume that since he was with a severum, he is pretty calm. Take a look around the sa/ca cichlid forum.

hes actually quite a wuss the serevum was smaller considerably and beat him up sometimes

3 tinfoil barbs...maybe a 4line pictus or a suncat. Ive never seen a Lima Shovelnose get over 16" you may be able to get away with one of those to. Some large Red hooks would be cool...earth eaters are another possibility. Since your O is rather mellow the possibilities are endless.

there was a similar thread recently, and lots of folks agreed that chocolates are also a good cichlid tankmate for the oscar
