Hello I'm wondering about the stocking my 75 gallon Oscar tank.

My current stocking is:

One tiger Oscar

Three silver dollars

One four line pictus

My question is can I add anything else?
 
How about a blood parrot fish. I have in my 100:

1 Oscar
2 Bonsai Flowerhorns
3 Blood Parrots
1 Pleco

Everyone is very happy. No argueing no fighting. My Oscar and my Bonsai Flowerhorn seem like super good friends actually. They have been raised since juvenilles together.

that tank is going to have big problems when everyone is full grown. if i remember correctly, a 100 ( one i had ) is only 5 foot by 18, which is not nearly enough room for all those fish. and knowing FHs they may not be aggressive now but they will become aggressive..

anyways, yeah one bichir should work, you could also get a smaller cichlid, under the 6 inch range.
 
I do not think you should add any more and your almost certain to.have problems. All very agressive fish, it is common that flowerhorns are kept solo in a 55 or 75 due to.their agression. Plus the bioloads of each of those fish is huge and is more than a 100 gal should have.

I am waiting on my 280 to get set-up. I am hoping that it doesn't happen, but if it does I will seperate them into the 280 and 100. Thanks for the imput though, I appreciate it. I was hoping that because everyone is about a year old, and that they were brought up together, I might get lucky and they will continue to get along.
 
i personally dont think you should add anything else except maybe some more silver dollars.

Adding the silver dollars is the only thing that I considered as well. But as it stands...that tank might get rough :/
