definitely too small for any one of those as adults, but as mentioned of course it can be a growout

ahhh hes to old to bash up..

it is a 3 ft tank with fluval 205 marble chip
i was thinking of 1 oscar and 1 gibbicep sailfin.
to small?

Way to small, not just size but aggression. I would not put an Oscar and Red Devil in a 5 foot tank, let alone 1 Oscar and 2 Red Devils in a 46g.

If you want Discus i would get about 3 more and have nothing else in the tank.
 
given those dimensions I'd still go with my original recommendations

Two ideas:

- 1 Blue Dempsey
- 1 Senegal Birchir

- 1 Blue Dempsey
- 2 Clown Loach
 
nope, some of them do get large, but most albino senegals stay around 10", normal senegals will get to around 12", and there are a lot of other species that would do perfectly in your tank!!!

I like Fry's idea, but i think that wouldn't quite max out your stocking, and you should have room for another fish or two.
