Tankmates for Oscars?

[viperbot]

Hi there,
Will 2 Oscars live with a Green Terror? Tank is 400 liters and the O's arent overly aggressive and are about 6 inches. Was gonna get a gt male of similar size so they grow together but have been getting conlicting advice so anyone want to weigh in?

I think your 400l will be just enough for your O's once they get a little bigger.
I wouldn't add any fish in a tank that size.
But that's just my 2 cents.
GT and O's go fine together, so that's should be no problem.

I agree, your only problem is the tank size. It's fine for an O or two, but nothing more

Thats 100 gallons roughly I think, it should work well with just your 2 Oscars, and once they are large they should fill out the tank quite well. For now I would just add dithers of your preference to fill the tank and make it a bit more moving. Oscars generally get more aggressive as they get larger, so relatively peaceful now at 6 inches may be monsters at 12 inches.

the gts can be good tankmates, but you might want a bigger tank for all this to work

I think you would do fine with 2 oscars and a green terror in a 100 gallon.

I had to rehome a 3.5-4 inch GT that was kicking the crap out of 2 Oscars more than twice his size in a 480 litre but I suppose it depends on the individual fish.

I went with JD, Silver Dollars and catfish instead.

yup. not worth taking chances with a GT.

If you do decide to add a green terror in with them, I would try to aim a little on the smaller side. If not I think it might terrorize the Oscars.

You'd want to give the GT a wider berth.
