Here is my 11" oscar. I have had him since March of 2007. He lives in a 120g (4 x 2 x 2) with two 5" silver dollars and a 8" "vanilla" pleco. The aquarium has two AC110 HOB filters and one Fluval 305 canister filter. Some people consider a 55g big enough. Truthfully, I cannot even consider less than what I have. With a two foot depth, he is already half that length.
Currently there are two 2" Firemouths that I dropped in there to see if "Willie" would eat them or accept them. He accepted them, and much to my chagrin, one firemouth is staking out the tank as his! Suddenly, the SDs are the outsiders! I think I will be moving them soon.
I am considering one of the following:
1. Add three more SDs to make a complete shoal.
2. Add another oscar...preferrably white/red. Since he accepted the FMs, I wondered if he would accept another oscar.
3. Add a Jack Dempsey (currently 2" living in a 40g)
Which would you do?
