I would scale back to two oscars, and add in a pair of tinfoil barbs, and a blue jack dempsey. I love those blue boys LOL. I have kept tinfoil barbs and oscars, they look good and are active swimmers. I agree that the oscars are super messy, get a good clean up crew for the substrate, a catfish that gets big and a algae eater like a common pleco. Do weekly water changes where you vacume the substrate, dont over feed. You said your tank is 72 inches ? thats six foot, so that is good, its more important to have a longer tank than a higher one, length to cruise is good. If you dont like those suggestions i would go with 2 oscars, 2 slightly smaller(5-7 inches) semi aggrssive new world cichlids, a catfish, and a pleco.
what would u put in 110 with 4 oscars

4 Oscars in a 110 is alot of fish mass, but if you add fish, make it a pleco and a synodontis cat fish. They will help keep the scum level down and grab the scraps. You may need to loose a fish or 2 when they get full grown, but you have some time before that happens if they are only a few inches now.

yeah, I'd just throw about 100 guppies in there every month nor so as a treat.
I'd just find a pair of cons, and give them a good cave. they'll eat some of the clouds of food debris that four oscars would create.
of course, once they're all adults, and the aquarium starts to kind of get crowded, those cons would probably stress the oscars out with their aggression

I'm not sure what people are thinking suggesting add all of these fish. 4 Oscars will be too much for that tank very soon. Cut back to a couple of Oscars (maybe you'll get a pair) and add call it a day. There is no way you could responsibly add anything to that tank as it is now (long term).
