South American Cichlid tank

[mudvayne]

Hi,
I want to setup a big South American Cichlid Tank you no with oscars and jacks. But I have one questions, can people that know cichlids a little bit better than me tell me all the different types of cichlids that I could have with Oscars because the Oscars are going to be that main theme of the tank, but I want to have others in the tank with them.

tank size is 250 Gallons

Thank,
Mudvayne

My oscars share a tank with a JD, a green severum, a beautiful chocolate cichlid, a small male Archocentrus sajica waiting for females and his own tank and a Cichlasoma amazonarum who's final tank destination is unknown at this time. They all swim around together!

I'd say a Green Terror, they're my favorite cichlid.
