oscar tankmates

[icherno7]

i have a 100 gallon tank with an O and 7 poly's i want to know which fish would be the best to add 2 blood parrots, 2 firemouths ,2 convicts
water chemistry is not a problem because i am testing out a diy nitrate filter and so far so good im more worried about aggression
which fish should i get?

depending on how big your oscar is, get 2 male convicts ( one pink one black ) my male is awsome! i have a pair plus a extra female and there all great with my 2 oscars. and depending on the dimitions of the 100 instead of the cons get one more oscar.

I would say 1 parrot or the 2 firemouths. If you get a breeding pair of convicts they will woop you oscar no matter how big they are, and the males tend to be jerks regardless. I have 4 blood parrots in with my oscar but I need to get me a bigger tank. Parrots seem to get along fine with them and if you search on youtube, a lot of people that keep oscars also have blood parrots. Just check my youtube page in my signature, I have loads of video of my oscar and parrots.

The Oscar is 5in
and what do my dimentions have to be so that I can get another one?

I think hes saying if your tank is long enough it would be ok to add another.

It's 5 feet long
is that long enough

eww thats a tough one, i wouldn't get another oscar, i had better luck when i had 3 rather than 2. In a 5' tank, i would do a male convict or something similar sized to a con, with your oscar, thats about it.
