My redtail catfish successfully ate a lima shovelnose catfish, jack dempsey three black convict and tried to eat a glass thermometer and my dads thumb...

I would be carefull with salvini and convicts. Convicts are pretty nippy and may go after a slower fish like the oscar. Salvinis get very territorial as they grow and may fight with the oscars as they rome around the tank.

Not much can mix well with oscars. But if your going to try don't ever feed live. A good staple diet of hikari massivore delight and occassional frozen treat of beefheart, bloodworms when young. If it were me I would try other large south american species of or smaller fast moving. With the...

chiclids are territorial fish and since territory is based on the bottom dims than the 55 long is better also it allows you to break it up better to provide cover. i have had my 55 long setup with africans a few different times. if you are looking for a cool decor setup try clay pots, leave some...
