Yesterday at petco I saw a few lemon tiger Oscar cichlids I’m going back today to buy one because they’re absolutely gorgeous and instead of being albino like most I’ve ever seen they were black like a tiger Oscar but had electric yellow instead of red
 
If I remember correctly you only have 1 tank which is small and already overstocked?

No I moved the convict cichlid, giraffe cichlid, and the smaller JD to a separate tank they’re the only things in that 20g tank and they were all smaller cichlids but in my 40 I still have aro, salvini, rtc/tsn, 1 JD, eel catfish, pacu, flagtail, giraffe and sun catfish the tank isn’t over stocked with them at the size they are right now and in a few months I’m moving then to a 75g and then a pool pond

Yikes.

I think you forgot to put a “2” before that 40...which would still be too small for that combination of fish, at any size.

My advice would be to not buy the Oscar or any other fish until you get a handle on things.

Ok whenever I get a new job most likely starting this weekend then I’m going to buy a 75g and put my Rtc/Tsn, arowana, giraffe catfish, pacu, jack Dempsey, and flagtail into the 75g tank and I’ll get my dad and grandpa to help me build a 1,000g pond for them to stay in after it’s finished and while the catfish and aro are all in the 75g I’ll have lemon tiger Oscar my other jd and salvini cichlid in the 40g tank along with the eel catfish then whenever the catfish and aro are moved to the pond I’ll move the other JD the lemon tiger Oscar and salvini to the 75 where they’ll stay for a while if the lemon tiger Oscar and JD outgrow the 75 then I’ll move them to the pond which will also have mesh screen on top so the aro can’t jump out and as for filtration I’ll use a 5g bucket with ceramic, lava rock, and whatever else I need and my dad can get that pumping and working in no time and I’ll have a pool heater
