2 Oscars, A Jag, and a Chocolate in a 110 is a bad mix IMO. I won't mention the catfish since I don't know what species that you have. Yes, they maybe 6-7" now but in 5 or 6 months imagine how big they will be. If You are planning on upgrading your tank in a year or two, that's too long. If you've grown the Oscars out , you already know how fast and large that they grow. If your Jag remains healthy, expect it to grow a lot in a year to two years time and quite possibly more aggressive. Considering the adult sizes of these cichlids, I would not keep all of them in a 110 for a year. You could either keep the 2 Oscars or keep the Jag with one other fish depending on the width of the tank. I believe that Chocolates like to be in pairs or groups but you don't have the room. I had an adult male Jag that made my 125 look quite small. He also was not even two-years old. And please don't put those two Oscars in your 55 for a year or longer.liljag;4902504;4902504 said:

Oscar's are messy, and almost a pain because they can be sensitive to bad water, but i'm sure you know that having two of them.. I have never kept a chocolate but have had my biggest O for almost 2 years, I love him, I'd say keep the O!

Chocs are actually really rather aggressive towards conspecifics, unless you get a bonded pair. Best kept as one choc per tank generally.
Thanks for the info. I have have seen it both ways so I wasn't sure of this. Learning is half the battle.hamfist;4905764;4905764 said:
Ditto. But NOLAGT has some Oscars that have me rethinking my dislike for them.balton777;4906574;4906574 said:I'm not an Oscar fan but come on, that's just wrong.
