No. Jus tthe jack dempsey. They usually only reach around 10" but dont add the severums.

I successfully kept a breeding pair of jacks in a 55 for quite some time with no issues.

As juvis yes. But you will need a bigger tank. So i wouldnt add an oscar. Just the jack and some dithers. Lets not hijack this thread anymore. You could do a pair for some time as cbourg said

Just to clarify, I said an oscar couldn't turn. I said the JD might be fine but would like the extra space a 75 provides. =) (sorry, OP)
