large oscar tank mates

[verruckt]

Looking at purchasing this large albino oscar at the lfs. Its around 11 to 12 inches id say. Beautiful fish. I'm curious as to what is a good tank mate may be. This fish would be going into a indoor pond.

i find that other cichlids such as severums, jd, gt and geaphagus species work

Mine's best buddy was a blood parrot.

My Oscar is living with a jag and a severum(sp?)

my oscar is living with a pair of jack dempsies and a much larger clown knife fish.
Though they are all smaller than 11 in

They'll do well with most moderately aggressive new worlds, although like previously stated, it's hit-or-miss with any fish.
