Oscar tank mates ?

[pcfriedrich]

8x2x2 tank? that's 240 gallons! I'd get more than just one more cichlid. I'd go with another O, Gold Saum, a blue Acara, and a jack Dempsey. I'd add a few convicts as well.

that said, I just noticed you mentioned a GRFG. what the heck is that?

Giant Red Finned Gourami can grow up to 20 inches maybe a little bigger .

you could go with some severums or large acaras to go with those oscars

I already told you what I'd do.

Cool , i will have a think on what others i might get , i do like Jack Dempseys but i cannt find any in my LFS or on any websites , unless someone knows a good website that i could get one from ( UK only ) please .

So you all think i can put few more Cichlids in the 8foot tank with my current fish ? .
