i have a 90 gallon tank with 4" oscar, 2" tinfoil-2, 4" silver dollar -2and a female convict. planning to give away the tinfoil and silver dollar. shall i go for a green terror ? suggestions plz....
 
Firstly, how big are the Oscars?

Secondly, is this what you plan to house them in for life or is this just temporary? Oscars, from what I know, fully grown will need alot of space and I think four in 90g is small.

For the time being I wouldn't suggest getting anything else...
 
Yeh go for it green terrors are gorgeus fish but can be a bit nasty so watch the female con if you get 1 you should get her a mate.
 
Sorry I just realized I totally misread your post! (it is very early in the morning here)

Just totally ignore what I said above! For one Oscar a 90g is more than plenty and will have room for a GT!

Again, I do apologize!
 
Thanks for da suggestion..any possibilities of one attacking other.?mu tank 3x2x2 with external canister filter flow rate of 1000l/h and an internal filter of 1600l/h. Do any spl arrangement needed?
 
i would keep the silver dollar and get a few more they are cool in schools
 
I think 1 oscar (will get 12"+) and a few SDs will do ok. As for as the tin foils. I would loose them, they or very messy and get real big. (14"+) I had 4 in a 135 and had to get rid of them do to size and mess.
 
For a 90g, you'd prob be better off keeping the O and buying maybe 2-3 more SD's to go with the one you already have! That would be a better set-up imo?!
 
i think a GT would be great-just keep in mind they get a good size too. i have a 90 gallon, it has a red oscar, 2 green sevs and one firemouth.. they all get along great.
