Midas or Oscar?

[ColeFishing]

I have a 75 gallon aquarium. It's well decorated with caves, plants, driftwood, and rocks. I have a red parrot cichlid that's fairly aggressive, a jack Dempsey, and a sun catfish. I would like to either do an Oscar or a Midas. If I could. Thanks for any advice.

You can not go wrong either way but I am partial towards the midas.

 

[tomcat.415]

definitely the midas. Way better character

 

[love The Jack Dempseys]

Midas but when the midas gets older it will kill the jack and probably the parrot, but the cat will be fine

I will say no to Midas or Oscars since you have two cichlids already.

 

[Redearsunfish]

Neither. For the reasons listed above.

A Midas becomes a killing machine in a 75.

An oscar, i still wouldn't add. too big/messy or potentially aggressive or believe it or not, potentially shy to add to a "mix" in a 75.

your aquarium is already fully socked so i would get nothing else.

Well I run a fluval G3 and 405 do filtration is not a problem. IMO it's not fully stocked because I have plenty of clover like driftwood, rocks, caves and of plants(live and fake). But it might be idk. There only 3" now and well reach at least 8" each and possibly 12" for JD and 15" for sun cat. I'm leaning more towards Oscar so everything doesn't get killed.

Oscar, i still wouldn't do. but you could get away with it. i personally wouldn't. There are better candidates.

I would have to agree with the above because right now you see room in the tank. However in about 6 months you wont see much room in the tank and I believe issues will arise possibly down the road. Now if you have another tank you could move someone to if there is an issue i would say give it a shot.
