mixing oscars

[srobles]

i have 2 8 inch oscars in a 100 gallon tank. i need to get them some pals. they seem very bored with each other. i was thinking a green terror or a jd or a red devil. need some serious help and any thing will help thanks.

I would go with either a jack dempsey or a green terror, just in case the red devil lives up to it's name.

I had a M and FM Dempsey in a tank with a Devil, a GT pair, and a large common plec. The Devil injured the jack male, so he went to a friend's tank with the fm jack. Before I could save my favorite m GT, the Devil killed him overnight about 3 days later. The Terror was twice the size of the Devil too. Before that battle began, from day one, my plec had to fight for his pvc tubing. I even put a 2nd one in and the devil wanted both!

I do think Devils are worth keeping - a pair - and would go for leaving them to their own tank...unless it's reaaally big :)

Yes I Agree, Not A Red Devil! They Are Way Too Mean. I Had One At About 6" He Killed Two 8" Jags. Mine Wouldn't Even Allow A Pleco To Live With Him. He Was A Very Mean Sob.

I agree with a jd and a green terror...maybe add a few silver dollars to add some more motion!

Maybe a Severum or an eartheater. Works for me.
