So.....I'm going to be upgrading to a 75g very soon and need some advice on tankmates for my Oscar. Right now he's in a 35g and that's obviously wayyyy too small for him (he's about 9" now) so it's time to get him a bigger and better home. I've decided on a 75g and want to include at least 1 tankmate with him. What do you guys recommend? I have a LMB bass, a few sunfish, a rock bass, yellow perch, and a brown bullhead in my small outdoor pond so I thought about grabbing one (maybe the Bullhead?) and throwing him in there. Here are some ideas I was kicking around.....any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Another Tiger Oscar.....maybe an albino or another to match him
Electric Blue Jack Dempsey (saw one at my LFS....they are beautiful)
Brown Bullhead (I love cats)
LMB Bass (he would probably outgrow the 75g so that might not work)
Sunfish/Rock Bass (would be cool....not sure if hakeem would try to eat them though)
and please no negative comments on the current tank size. I'm well aware that it's cruel keeping him in there but I'm in the process of moving and didn't want to get a bigger tank until I was ready to move to my new place....which I am now.
