Ok I have a 75 gallon with a 10 inch oscar, is there space for another cichlid, or any fish with similar temperment that I could add? Or would it be overcrowded if I had another in there? Thanks for any input ahead of time.

Filtration? Whats the oscars temperment? Hmm this is a toughy
 
I don't know about another O but maybe a bit smaller cichlid that could hold his own of course might work. Of course your'e going to need lots of filtration to keep up with them.
 
i have a penguin 350 biowheel, and a magnum 350 on it. can add more filtration if necessary. my oscar has been alone in a tank all it's life so i'm not sure how aggressive he will be. i also have a penguin powerhead.
 
If anything try a Jack dempsy... Or a jag in my Opinion... Maybe some convicts, or a couple firemouths :) Fourline cat... There are a few others.. Like Tinfoil barbs.. Or a few silver dollars :)
 
well, i think a jag would get too big, right?? in the long run? I dont want to have to go any bigger right now, i can't afford it. I have a JD i was actually originally planning on putting in there, i am just not sure how they will react with each other, but if things go foul the JD can go back to the 55...but my JD is only 4 1/2" right now. i was actually considering firemouths, but would the O bully them because of size difference? I dont know firemotuh's personalities
 
anyone else?? I am not really goin for the Jag idea. Any other ideas??? :feedback:
 
Can you tell us the tank length, width etc please, along with the Ph please.

Carl.
