So I might be getting a new tank and I've done research online on oscars but I didn't find anything on if they are compatible. I was thinking that fire eel guy or something similair. Also wh at about lobsters? Plecos?

First off, we will need to know the tank size. Oscars do get pretty big, 12"+. Fire eels as well, reaching 2'+ (24"+) I think to keep both of these together you should have at least a 150 gallon tank with plenty of caves, rocks etc. These fish both have a HUGE boiload, so adequate filtration is necessary. A couple big canister filters along with some big HOB filters would make up some good filtration. I really am not that familiar with big tanks and fish, so I'm sure someone else will be able to out more than me.
