What cichlid can go with Oscars? I have kept Malawi and African cichlids before and realised then that some are tougher than others. Currently the Oscar is the toughest guy in my tank so i think any fish that are added need to match his temperment:nilly:
 
depends on the tank size, but things like severums, chocolate cichlids, red hump and pearl geo's are a good way to go
 
personally i had a lot of trouble keeping my oscars with JD and jewel, killed the jewel and the jack nearly killed my 2 oscars
 
Sweet - Jack Demsey it is - Survival of the fittest - Bring the noise lol

Can you post a picture of a demsey - coz i think i have had one before but i was then told by a mate that it wasnt so im not sure i know exactly what a Demsey looks like....
 
It's going to depend on the size of the tank because of territorialism and bio-load. The Oscar's going to need 75 gal himself. (Some say 55 gal but that's pushing it).
So...what size is the tank?
 
Jack dempsey and oscar gunna need a big tank, and that oscar will give you a big bio-load so youll need good filtration
