TANKMATES FOR A TIGER OSCAR

[CICHLID34]

What would be a good tank mate for a baby tiger oscar. Tank size will be a 20 gallon for a few weeks and then a 55 and then my 125 im refurbishing and building a stand for now. Anyone?

He killed another tiger oscar already but i was thinking about a jag,or a midas

Another oscar is usually a bad idea, unless they are a breeding pair. I would get some plecos or some Silver dollars

he has a rubberlip pleco in the tank right now thats about an inch long. I had SD's b4 and im not a huge schooling fan

what about a jag or midas, or maybe 2 convicts

jack dempsey or green terror

i had two tiger oscars together at one point too -- they did well.
all depends on your fish.

We also had a jardini in there.. but I'd suggest not doing that!
We had a Delhizi Bichir, Royal Clownknife, 3 NTT's, and they did fine.
We no longer have the oscars though.
