New and looking for monster fish advice

Hello I am a 17 about to start my senior year of high school. I am building a 280 gallon aquarium and I am wondering what I can put in with oscars and black belt chiclids

Welcome to MFK☺ I personally would just add a bottom dwelling species and give the Oscar's most of the 280 gallon.

Would you say a channel cat would be okay I have a place for it when it starts to get to big I really want to do a South American theme minus the channel cat

I believe Channel Cats prefer cooler water. Do you like any SA Catfish ?

You could easily have a Lima shovelnose, a school of pictus or four lined pictus, a megladoras irwini, rapheal, niger cats, the choices are unlimited.
