a pair of oscars needs about 100 gallons so on that note i would say that you need a bigger tank and a jagur cichlid will get to aggressive and probly kill one or mabye both of your oscars if you whant a jag with tankmates i would say you need atleast a 120 gallon and as for any other tankmates what kind of filtration do you have and what kind of whater changes do you do? with two oscars already in the tank you need really good filtration
90 with an O... you could probABLY GET AWAY WITH A LIL CONVICT FRIEND... oR USE IT AS A growout tank for both of them
Nah, you can get away with tankmates in a 90g. But definatley not a jag. I recommned a jack dempsey, vieja regani, Or H. Bocourti. All get large, so keep up with WC's and be overfiltered, but they are all gentle enough to share the space with your oscar.
In my 100 gallon with two oscars i've got a severum as a tank mate and a bellycrawler pike, that i couldn't catch out and has been fine with them. Even though they probably could eat it quite easily.
I have 2 Oscars in my 90 gallon. they get along fine but IMO, its somewhat of a gamble in a 90 or anything shorter than 6ft. for territorial issues.
good filtration and strict pwc schedule is a must.
i have an AC 110 and Rena XP3 that are doing an excellent job on the 90g, along with 50% weekly pwc's.
