Oscar tankmates!?

[Zkrush2]

Hi everyone! I have a 75 gallon tank with an Oscar fish and a Raphael catfish. I love the fish, however, I would like to get a few more. The problem is, my oscar will bully whatever I try till it dies. My Raphael has been totally fine and seems to get along well with the Oscar. I had a jack Dempsey, but he was killed by the Oscar. I also had a convict cichlid, but he had the same fate as the jd. I am open to ANY suggestions!!!! Thanks for the help!


Ps. If you notice in the pics, i had an Easter island statue decoration that was laying on the ground. I believe my oscar is the cause of this. I have seen him open his mouth and attack it before. This happens no matter how many times I set the statue back up. Not a serious problem, just thought it was kinda funny

in a 75 gallon tank you probably wont be able to add anything else. oscars main tank mate suggestions are plecos and large catfish. sometimes they can coexist with other large cichlids but its a hit and miss and 75 g just wont be enough room for two large cichlids

75 gallon is only big enough for the oscar. I wouldn't even have the cat in there.
