I'm Thinking of getting 125g tank, and have been tossing around ideas for a month or two. I've finally decided on a tiger oscar, but id like a little more going on. My first thought would be a small group of silver dollers, or i've heard people say theyve had success with firemouths? Any other suggestions are welcome. :)
 
Both are good ideas.

Why go tiger when you can get wild caught?
 
If you have the money (for shipping) I'd go WC. As to the question of additional fish, Firemouths go well is Os. You may also consider a jack dempsy or a salvini. You might want to have both the school of silver dollars and one additional small cichlid, such as a firemouth.
 
Sorry for the thread hyjack. But does anyone of you two guys have some links for some WC oscars????
 
oscar,salvini :) school of sd's sounds good
 
yeah peru Os are the best looking IMO if you can get them, but yeah tiger O with some cons (all same gender) and silver dollars would be cool too, wouldnt really matter if you got female cons either since you wouldnt really have to worry about them pairing with the O, though their aggression might be a little more than males... full grown salvini might be a little aggressive for an O as would possibly a JD though they should have plenty of room in that tank i wouldnt worry too much about it, i would do the O and a smaller cichlid and then like a small school of silver dollars or other larger schooling fish, if the schooling fish are already larger when you first add a very small O then you may have luck with im continuing to accept them as he grows like i did with my oscars and tiger bars, just make sure its a nice large school so they have safety in numbers and they will add some nice activity to the tank
