Currently I have a juvenile Oscar (nothing fancy, just a run of the mill Oscar), a paradise fish, and a common Pleco in a 10 gallon temporarily until I can get either a 55 or a 75 gallon. What other tank mates could I have for the pleco and the oscar (the paradise fish will remain in the 10 gallon)? I was thinking of a colorful cichlid such as a green terror, jack dempsey, blue acara, or maybe something along the lines of a convict or texas cichlid, or a primealoid type catfish. Any ideas are welcome, and I am willing to accept the fact that it would be overstocking if I put tankmates in.
Also, before anybody asks me what the tempermant of my Oscar is, let me save you the time. Its bark is worse than its bite. It does not mind the Pleco one bit since the pleco keeps to himself, but every once in a while the paradise fish will wonder too close to the oscar, and the oscar will give chase, but NEVER bite. My paradise fish has perfect finnage, and is not stressed out at all. The paradise fish suffered a worse beating from his old tankmate of the same species who died from jumping(I bought the two before I knew anything about fish, luckily I didn't buy the iredesciant shark that I was going to buy :thm: ).
