New setup

Im thinking of buying a 4x2x2 tank with two 1800lph canister filters and 400watt heater

ive got some fish in mind 2 oscars 1jack dempsey 1or2 convicts and a pleco what do you think any other fish or any of them ishouldnt get thanx

I wouldn't do 2 oscars. I think you will have better luck with just one. Plus 2 oscars would really cramp your tank a little. They are big fish and produce a lot of waiste.

Maybe 1 oscar, 1 JD, 1 severum, 1 samller cichlid.

2 Oscars can be trouble unless your lucky enough to get a pair, which is very unlikley. In the event a pair would form it might mean trouble for the other IMO.

If you didn't have an Oscar you could get more smaller cichlids Oscars do grow pretty big and like jgentry said ^ they are very messy eaters and waste producers.

The other fish that is, just clarifing my typo

why not do something a little less common than JDs and Oscars? There are lots of other options out there cichlid wise - just my $.02
