hes about 2 inches smaller then the female JD and shes the one whos mean not the big male. i have some live plants and some rock caves to hide in so i'll give it a shot. need the 45 for my piranha
dempseys and oscars make good tankmates generally, however, keep an eye on aggression due to tank size, and possible pairing up
I agree oscars and Dempseys make good tankmates... when kept at compatible sizes...
Are your Dempseys a pair? If so they may not appreciate the Oscar being around and they will be tough enough to kill it...
Oscars grow very quick so it may be worth waiting a month or two to let him get some size built up...

my tiger oscar and jd are always swiming together, never had a problem out of them two, just watch them close for a while.
Keep watching and FEEDING your O and he'll soon outgrow your JD's!
My O is not even a year old and passed the 10" mark allready!
