Oscars

[PBrindle]

Hello.
I am comming back to freshwater fish aftr a stint with marine fish.
I am toying with the idea of a large comunity tank or going for an oscar. Looking at a 300 ltr tank.

What fish are compatable with the oscar? Maybe Tinfoil Barbs or plecs etc.

Any pointers will be helpfull.

Many thanks

Silver Dollars, Jack Dempsey, Parrot fish, plecos... here's an older topic that gave me some ideas.

In a 300l tank you couldn't add another cichlid, and a plec might push it too - so might be worth thinking about a different cichlid as main species, or getting a bigger tank Tin foils would be a huge no-no as they get nearly as big as the oscar would and need to be in groups! To be honest, I personally would think about a smaller cichlid, as even an oscar would be pushing it in a 300l tank. Good luck!
