I still have a young oscar (only 4"), and I figure that if I want him to have a long-term tank mate (which I do) that now is the time.
I have a 55 gal, but am making plans now for a sizeable upgrade no later than August when I move to a more permanent location.
I've heard that other comparably sized cichlids are good... excepting the Green Terror. I love it when people are confused why their green terror is hurting their oscar and they get the response, "green TERROR!!!" I've heard of an oscar being successfully paired with an angelfish, but I'd be so worried about it's long pec. fins.
I know this is largely up to my personal tastes, but if any of you know good tankmates, or a fun combo, I'd appreciate it. Even just throwing a fish out there would be good for brainstorming, thanks.
