You cannot put an Oscar in a 30gal. No chance! It might be 2inches now bug oscars grow FAST and they make so much mess it's unbelievable.

A 2inch Oscar will be 4 inches in less than a month. It will be 6 inches before 2 months. You CANNOT put an Oscar in a small tank.

I have 3 at 6 months old, varying from 8 to 10 inches

probably some jack dempseys, flowerhorns, maybe en electric ram if i have the money. and definitely an oscar. i dont want huge cichlids i just want like 2inch ones so i can watch them grow.

No jack dempseys, and no flowerhorns. Putting those all in a 30 gallon, imagine the aggression levels and size of these fish! No oscars either.

I would save the ram for when your tank is stable and cycled.

You're asking too much.

He obviously doesn't want to take any advice offered to him or do any research. My suggestion is to let the thread die. No use beating a dead horse.
