oscar in a 75g needs a friend

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I wouldn't add another cichlid to that tank, because of O aggression. Cichlids don't like other cichlids. I would get some silver dollars, a pleco, any type of headstander, or catfish like pictus. Any larger but not too big non-cichlid would be fine.
 
didnt you post another thread like this saying he was in a 90g? so what size is he in? if it is indeed a 75g then i would not add another cichlid as when the O is full grown he will need the whole tank and probably wouldnt want to get something that gets as big as a silver dollar either IMO because that will be ALOT of waste with a full grown O i think a pleco that stayed smaller or a small catfish like a pictus would be the only thing you could add to a 75g if hes going to be in it when hes full grown (also IME oscars are not aggressive at all compared to other cichlids they are just hungry so make sure anything new you put in is big enough to not be lunch)
 
the only friend you can possibly give your oscar is something that does not grow to big, try firemouths!
and Os are not aggressive at all atleast in all my cases
