Oscar with Green Sunfish?

[knifegill]

I have one positive report from Oscarfish.com of successful cohabitation. Has anyone here had good (or bad) luck with this combo? I have both fish and possibly a 120g coming soon. Looking to keep them together.

Greenies are bada$$ tough fish that dont take kindly to cichlids IME. I think that an Oscar might be tough enough as long as it is much bigger...

Sunfish get fairly large and are extremely aggressive. I would think there is the possibility of trouble in the mix being that Oscars are relatively laid back fish. Never know 'til you try though.

Try intoducing the sunfish when it is significantly smaller than the O.

Thanks. I think there is a pretty good chance of it working, as my O is pretty aggressive toward people and the green hasn't killed any angelfish yet. *cross fingers, wait a few months for new tank*
