i own an 75 gallon tank with a oscar that is about 10 inches and a severum thats a little more than 4 inches, they get along well. i would like for there to be one more fish in there that get to a decent size, any ideas?
(my lfs has a large kissing groumi and some port cichlids?)

dont add anyithing else. the oscar by istelf needs the 75 gallon all to itself to make up for its massive bioload.

i still wouldn't add anything... even with the excess filtration.

extra filters IMO do not make up for lack of tank space. particularly when you're talking about large messy fish.

the oscar and severum are fine together as long as the oscar isn't beating it up. maybe a bristlenose pleco and call it a night

We might not be fun but if you want a happy oscar just leave it at what you have right now.

I would personally add more, but not until you had more filtration.
