There's not much in the way of larger active cats you can do with that footprint. If you could find some adult ornate pims, then you could get those, but other than that, I can't think of anything else that would work and wouldn't be difficult to obtain. And I'm not sure I'd want to put sevs with oscars. The oscars may become aggressive toward them. A group of redhook SD's would be good for some mid dwellers.

African Featherfin catfish would probably work. They get 6-8" are pretty active and have some very large spines that protect them well. I have a friend who has one of these in with a large Buttikoferi and it wont mess with it.
