A large pleco, cichlids, large cats, or, my favorite, Largemouth Bass.

When I had my oscar I had a pike, jag, green sevrum, and a pleco and they did good.

I have a GT/GS and a pair of HRP's with an Oscar in a 75. No problems.

I used to have one with a Jack Dempsey and a Royal Clown Knife.

For some strange reason they usually get along with red tail sharks

JDs and Cons are a good fit. They're tough enough that the O's tend to leave them alone, and fast enough in case the O's grow some balls.

Go for something bottom feeding as O's are messy eaters.
