Does the size really matter that much? im just worryed about teritorial problems.
Also, i suppose it is a female convict, since when i got it, there was 3 in the tank.

What is that supposed to mean? :3

The size of the tank. Like 4 feet, 6 feet.

Like 4 feet by 2 feet etc etc etc.

Plus IMO decor doesn't really play a role in what you want.

You can add firemouths they are nice cichlids.

actually, i got a used aquarium, that is a 105gallon from my step dad. That's the one he is in right now.

Is he the only fish in it? If so if you put a second convict in there and if it make a pair. Those two will
Stock the tank for you in no time.

I'm looking to add an oscar.

Just to describe footprint in an easier way is the:
length X width not including the height.
A tank of 3ft long by 2ft wide would have a footprint of 3ft x 2ft

Hmmmm mixing the continents isn't the best idea. I know I am right now but the situation couldn't be helped and the oscars have a future home themselves. I think I would go with a different cichlid.

 

[Fishanatic]

Btw, would it be safe to add a 2'' oscar with my 4'' cichlid?
Its a convict.

 

[Freakgecko91]

For the record, an Oscar IS a cichlid.

And the reason I say decor is important is because if the tank is bare, many cichlids will get stressed. Or if it's filled with holey rock or lace rock, it'll up the pH, or lower it with driftwood

It's only 2"now but before you know it, you'll have a monster on your hands. Might I suggest peacock cichlids?

Peacock cichlids are africans. He has a convict, peacocks would not be a good idea.

Indeed. I know my LFS told me they mixed texas with them.
