Hey just trying to decide what to get for my 6ft oscar tank, there is also my little female jd 3inches and a 2inch flowerhorn.. tossing up between a salvini 4cm, a chocolate 4cm or a blackbelt 4cm.. any suggestions?

why not one of each

How many do you want to kill? :grinno: Hoping that the oscar will be able to hold his own, I'd nix the chocolate (too weak), and probably be more inclined to go with the sal. The blackbelt will be another aggressive guy, but with some size to him. At least the sal will stay smaller. The fh will decide who he wants to stay in the tank with him anyway, so......
 
I've got a Chocolate Cichlid in a 125 g with my Tiger Oscar. Awesome pair with the same laid back personality. My Chocolate looked pretty bad when I got her 3 months ago but she's a really cool coppery-brown color now. They both float around together and mind their own business.

Yeah, the chocolate would work with the oscar, it's the fh that screws that mix.

yeah, flowerhorns arent the best community guys past around 4 inches. lose him and get a green terror. or sal.

I would go with all of those and a GT instead of the FH I've heard Vieja are really only aggressive twords other Vieja and not so much twords other fish but can be but out of all of them i've heard that Black belts are usually the most aggressive twords other fish of all the Vieja but still worth a try
