i cant decide what to stock my tank with and i think i might do an oscar but my question is what could his tank mate be preferably another cichlid i was thinking maybe a salavini
 
Search it man, there's quite a few things you can do with an oscar and a 110. A salvani could hold his own with an oscar, just keep in mind they grow very slowly, oscars don't, and you would have to get them at reasonable sizes..
 
I've found with every 1 of my 6 Oscars that they completely ignore Geophagus/Eartheaters. I don't know why but they act like they don't even see them from the second I put them in the tank. Those are cichlids plus they're the perfect cleaner-uppers. Quite a few only get 6-8" so you could have several. He'd have his own clean-up crew.

that's a pretty good idea . . . oscars tend to be mid-level, top-level swimmers, so they wouldn't necessarily interact with geophagus much; and their body types are so dissimilar, the oscars wouldn't see them as a threat . . . and they certainly wouldn't see them as food

yeah, I like that . . .
 
i like the idea of geos but i dont know a whole lot about them im going to have to do some research

but keep the ideas coming
 
Options are vast... too long of a list to bother typing...

What do you like? what are you looking for in a fish?
 
my friend has a ebjd and con with his two oscars
 
Is the O alone in the 110 at the moment?

There are quite a few options you have - maybe a JD? Con?
I find that my JD's and O's pay absolutely no attention to each other at least not until my JD's spawn and then get a bit moody.

I personally liked the above idea of a having a clean up crew, certainly getting me thinking :)
