wow, no kidding on the above "no"s RTC = 1000g+ (really a pond fish or commercial sized aquaria fish) Aro =(depending on the type) 300g+ ID Shark = 1000g+ (again really a pond fish) BGK alone in a 75g = maybe. With an Oscar = no.
Several different types of plecos will work, but certainly not a royal or similar. The trouble is most of the smaller ones seem to be more expensive. Whereas a common for a couple of bucks will likely hit the 16-18" adult range which would be uncomfortable in a 75. My L83/L165 gets even bigger but can be found pretty easily for sub 10$.
I like his idea of the birchir, seems to be a nice size fit.

When in doubt, get a Convict. They're boisterous enough to hold their own and lively enough so that it's like having a second smaller Oscar.
I have two female convicts in with my Oscar, they work pretty good at cleaning up behind him lol.I never have to directly feed them as when the O eats stuff goes every where and they swoop in and clean up.
Get a nice looking pleco or something. Another cichlid would be pushing it in a 75g

Dude you need to stop giving horrible advice to people who are actually looking to care and home their fish properly

If you can get a decent sized Birchir I'd go that route

Ya I like both the convict idea and the bichir idea. Ill have to put some thought into it. More suggestions always welcome.

Anybody think I could do a pair of cons? Or is that starting to push it?
