i would have to agree two 10 inch oscars in a 75 would already be getting crowded if you added to many more large fish. i always heard that you should buy your cichlids smaller than the oscar being they normally arent as aggressive fish as say an african could be. also on the gold fish i would...

there has been no more fish added, nor will there be until i get my tank under control. i also got rid of the cheap filter that came with the tank only filtering 200 gallons per hour with a bio cartridge they call it. I upgraded to a marineland 400, which happens to filter 400 gallons an hour...
