jack dempsey, honduras redpoints , quite a few species of catfish, birchir maybe I have heard yes and no ... ther are quite a few more

Bichirs are a bad idea. To slender and will be potential food as the Oscars are much faster growers. I have seen people do it but it's a bad idea

 

[Cakilla]

if he is really agressive ... I know some oscars are , you could possibly go with a GT, jag, not sure about midas, make sure whatever you decide to get is about the same size as the oscar you got

Yea jd's are ok and so r gt's. I love jags and the midas. just wanted to make sure they would be ok tho.

Green terror??? No way! They are far too aggressive for an Oscar, evidence:

And again bichirs are a bad idea, far too slender.

idk about the midas...that might be a little risky, and same for the jag...but ive heard of some jags being a little calmer

Yea jd's are ok and so r gt's. I love jags and the midas. just wanted to make sure they would be ok tho.

Jaguars get a up to 2 feet long with the oscar staying at a foot. The jag would kick his as$. Midas is same story as the GT, far too aggressive....

 

[CICHLID34]

Ive had bad experiences with the gt and jd so im gonna stay away from them. So im leaning towards the Jag or Midas

 

[CICHLID34]

I had a midas b4 it wasnt too bad and neither was my jag. Ive never seen a 2 foot jag the biggest ive seen is about 17 inches

in the first vid nothing happened...gt's are not that aggresive...he's talking about midas and jaguars, which are on a completely different level as gt's...my old gt lived with my severum and lived with an oscar just fine for the time that i had her...my G. Iporangensis does the same thing as the gt in the first vid, its just showing dominance, not killing the oscar
