I have had a Lutino and a Red Oscar with
What you have to worry about are:
Fact Be Told - the FW fish I have had the longest is my Albino Cory who is still doing fine ... :grinyes:
just an idea - you might be able to keep Peacock or Tire Track eel's if you have enough gravel - they hide well!
- Rope fish
- senegal bichir's
- ornate bichir
What you have to worry about are:
- sufficient hiding places for tank mates
- start the Oscar out small so it is used to the tank mates before it is big enough to really hurt them

Don't know about rope fish but I have a pink Convict with my Oscar. The O is 2-3 x the size of the convict and both are very aggressive. Professional Courtesy maybe? I also have a pleco 8-10" and a Silver Dollar 6".
I really think that it depends on the fish. I have an albino and a black tiger oscar with a big pleco and some pictus cats in a 125g. I tried a convict and a JD but the oscars tried to kiil them both. They don't even pay attention to the cats though...
I wouldn't put the rope fish in, i was watching a video on youtube a few weeks ago of a oscar eating a rope fish.

well - a piture is worth a lotta words - no?
That was about a 7 inch ropefish in those photo's - notice the Cory in the bottom photo on the left

What works for one person won't always work for another...I personally would never recommend corys with oscars based on horror stories I have heard of mixing oscars with large plecos. It will always depend on the personality of the oscar and how much space you give them...

that was in a 56 gal tank
sure - some people look at their tank -- tap on the glass -- and say "Fishy! Fishy!"
Those people deserve what they get ...
If a person pays attention and does things methodically - they can accomplish a lot!
Currently; I have a Parachromis dovii in a tank with THAT SAME albino Cory
It's all in how you do it - no rocket scientist stuff - just logic!
I got banned from a forum because I had the Cory with those 2 Oscar's ...
That is why I am working on growing my own pet forum ...
because with the right approach and minimal risk many things can actually be done ...
I have enough water to say I know a little bit!
FW: two 90'a, a 56 column, and a 29 Bowfront.
SW: a 90 and a 210
