I got my wife an Oscar that came from a fellow member. I know he had tank mates with him so I'm starting think the Oscar is getting lonely now that I have him alone. Is there anything I can stock with him?

How big is the tank? How big is the Oscar?
 
75 gallon and he's 7.5" I also have a DIY triple tower sump that I can always upgrade for more filtration.

I would leave it as a solo wet pet.
 
That's what I intended to do but he's becoming depressed

I'd at least do the catfish if you don't want a Dempsey. My dads 12" oscar and his synodontis lace catfish love each other, the catfish lays on the oscars side as he swims lol, it's great to watch

The previous owner had a jd and midevil with the Oscar before he sold me the Oscar. He also told me the jd and Oscar got along.

I got two 4" Oscars alone in a 75 and mine started beating on each other. I'm thinking a green terror or two.

He's "sulking" because it's a new fish tank. Give him 2 weeks to adjust. He may or may not eat during this time.
