My signature has my oscar and his tankmates. He occasionally picks on the severum, but the severum bites back too. The severum has some missing scales from the oscar and the oscar is growing back half a pelvic fin from the sev, but in general they're ok. Cichlids will be cichlids. Right now all the fish in the tank (except for the old syno) are about half their adult size and in a 75 gallon, but they will be moving into a 150 in a week or two.

JD, Cons, Salvini, Firemouth, Severum, schooling fish, tthe list goes on. There are lot of otions provided the tank is big enough. My O is in a 155 with a JD and Bala shark, but hes been with all of the aboved mentioned as well and has done fine.

one thing: don't get anything that the oscar can fit in his mouth . . . otherwise, sooner or later that's where it will end up . . .
