Great suggestions, I've been keeping six in a 1000 gal pond, the only non-oscar fish there is a carpintis, which has been a sort of aggression warden for the oscars.

I currently own and have a 400g South American Cichlids tank with Oscar's,Green Terrors,Jack Dempsey`s,Fire~Mouths,Jaguars,Convicts,Peacock Bass,and a few Picasamus altogether in my tank and they get along just fine!!! 👌🏿😊
Thank you I appreciate it because I actually follow you here on IG and have been for the last few months and you have helped me out in so many ways and I will continue to watch your videos on here to gather more tips & information 😊
Awesome video !! I was wondering why the Jack dempsey wasn't on the list .. In my tank I have a Oscar and a Jack dempsey who grew up together and they are both very large but I first started with 2 Oscars , a convict cichlid and a Jack dempsey and they were all very small and I bought them together to put in my tank and to be honest my Jack dempsey killed everyone except the Oscar he's now been with for 2 years .. Now I know what not to put together lol
cool stuff ! I just downsized my 1000g maintank to a 450g maintank. I will still be using my 210g sump filtration, so Im gonna add to my stock. Ive got 2 mature gold Severum and just added 6 juvenile green Severum ( thumbs up to Severum ) and have alarge Common Pleco and Rhino Pleco and 2 True Parrots, hiwever 1 is too dominant, so only 1 will remain. 2 Uaru and and an adult Jurapari. So I am picking up 10 SDs and a Green Terror and a Tiger Oscar tomorrow. I will grow them out together, for a month or so, in a 75g, before adding to the 450g.. I was considering some Central American Cichlids, but who knows ?
Great video! Question for you.. I have a full grown male angel and full grown male convict in a standard 75 gallon with danios as dithers. They've both grown up together as fry (little experiment to test if that does help aggression) and they have gotten along very well for a really long time with the angel as the clear boss. My question is, outside of growing up together, do you know of any CA/SA cichlids that wouldn't come in and tear up the angel but be tough enough to stand up to a convict if needed? Thanks!
I like Oscars and I want to get 2. I am trying to save up for a 150 gallon tank. It's going to take me some time but I'll get there. Thank you for the great information for tank mates. Love all three of guys videos. Awesome please keep up the great work.
I had a 75g with one large Oscar, one large peco, two breeding pairs of convicts,an African claw frog, snails, one large jack Dempsey. The convicts had fry all the time, the other fish kept the convict population from getting out of hand. My big Oscar his name was Frisco tried to eat a large convict. It was stuck in its mouth for several days. I pulled the fish out by hand and Frisco's mouth was stuck open for several weeks. He eventually recovered. Frisco eventually got to big ( about 4 years old) so I gave him to a pet store that had a large tank for display/ advertising.
Great video on a great channel! The cichlid and sunfish families are at the top of my list, and I love catfish, too. I used to keep oscars, and they remain one of my all time favorite fish to this day for their beauty, personality, and behaviors. The approach I like for keeping oscars is letting them be a "benevolent dictator," ie letting them be the biggest fish in the tank, and keeping them with species that are ounce-for-ounce a bit more aggressive, but smaller and less powerful. That way, the oscar remains on top without bullying anybody. I successfully kept my oscar that way with a Jack Dempsey, a firemouth, a convict, and a jewelfish. And like the video says, I've found oscars and plecos can be a good combination, too. I also learned from my mistakes that oscars are only moderately aggressive, so they cannot handle very aggressive species. My five-star general cichlid cornered my oscar, so I had to separate them. About the same thing happened with my green sunfish. Both of these species are significantly smaller than oscars, but much more aggressive, and were not good tankmates for the oscar.
I'm considering an Oscar and I'm trying to decide if I want to pop one straight in the huge tank and let it grow up in their... Or transfer it between grow out tanks as it matures. I'm leaning towards putting the Oscar straight in the big tank and using grow outs for tank mates as needed. Though, I'm only certain on a Pleco as a tank mate... Tanks big enough for more, do might add a few clowns after growing them out.
Hey Cichlids bros - a question that could prehaps be made into a video? And I realise it’s not going to have a simple answer because an Choc. Cichlids or Oscar is obviously bigger than say an EB Acara. How many South American (also Central American) Cichlids should go into an aquarium? How do you work it out? I’ve recently swapped African Cichlids for South Americans (& yourselvles and Jason on PTA have been a huge influence on that decision). I realise SA Cichlids should NOT be squashed in like African are to reduce the aggression. So how would you work it out say for everything from a 75g up to 180g? (I have a 90g now & moving up to a 180g when our new house is built in about 6months). Thanks for all the great videos!
I was feeding my tiger Oscar goldfish but 2 of them survived long enough to grow and now they're almost his size and they're living together in tropical temperature water. However the goldfish are already catching up to him and I'm wondering when they'll become a problem
@CichlidBros I have two Oscars, a mated pair of red spot Severums, two blood parrots, and a feather fin catfish. If I remove the blood parrots, could I do a school of silver dollars and possibly an electric blue Texas or electric blue Jack Dempsey? The tank is a 6’ long 210g.
I'm setting up a 125g. I'm thinking about 2 Oscars, 2 severums, and a group of 4 geophagus. I would leave the tank open with large river rocks. Is this too much for a 125? Thanks for your time!
I just got 3 juveneille Severums to accompany my 6 inch Red Spotted Severum. One gold and 2 Turqoise Severums. I waited one week to get the second green Severum and he’s getting picked on a little bit and chased around but not all day. Will the 2 greens most likely learn to be together or is it a bad idea to have two Severums of the same color together long term?
My advice will be to keep just one oscar if you don't have a pond-sized tank. Because I had 3 in my 450gal SA cichlid community. All was fine for about a year but 2 of them ended up forming a pair and started killing everything else in the tank. In a matter of weeks, I lost the other smaller oscar, a 7' silver Arowana, and a large parrot cichlid. I didn't have any tanks to put them in so I ended up giving them back to the pet store.
Sounds familiar. I grew out 3 and 2 paired off. They killed the 3rd. The female almost ripped off the makes lip in a 125g, as a last ditch effort I moved them to a 220g and they have been fine ever since, breeding every other month. I had 2 plecos with them, just recently they killed my juvenile Three beacon, my full spot watermelon however is almost 18 inches. They fight ALL THE TIME. I'm now working to get the Watermelon out. They are extremely peaceful otherwise. Mine wouldn't be able to turn in a 75g. Have to imagine it stunts them.
I find them a hit or miss really. Depends on the personality of the fish. Buying a juvenile and puting it in a community tank to grow and be accustomed to smaller tankmates kinda helped for me. Now I have an oscar with a convict and school of denison barbs in it. Kinda how I like it being the oscar as the center piece fish with some smaller schooling fish compared to recommended larger tankmates like silver dollars and parrots who are almost the same size of the oscar, they kinda steal the attention.
I just got a 129 gallon aquarium it is 5ft x 2’ tall x 19” w, I’m setting it up for an Oscar I’m getting a buddy of mine the Oscar is 12+ inches, I already an a pleco in another tank that I will be moving to the 129 when it’s set up. What do you recommend that could comfortably be in that size tank with the 1 Oscar?
Ok cichlid bros, my question is I’m setting up a 125 gallon tank for a pair of my oscars that I just got that are 4-5 inches right now in a 75 gallon. How many pairs of oscars can I put in my 125 gallon I’m setting up now.
Long time reefer who has gotten hooked on smaller planted FW and shrimp tanks. I’m currently thinking about setting up a big South American cichlid tank with an Oscar as the main focus. I’m wondering what style of tank do you recommend? Internal over flow with a sump or something with just an appropriately sized canister?
Hey Troy - do any of the Cichlids in your 180g tank bite you during cleaning? (I ask because a couple of my peacock cichlids frequently bite me during cleaning! It doesn’t hurt but is surprising but I want a chocolate cichlids when I set up my 180g & they have big mouths!!? 🤣
I have rainbow shark with my oscar😚 The oscar will try to chase it when the first time you put the rainbow shark, if your rainbow shark survive for a day not eaten, the oscar will just stop chasing it😁

Why you didn’t add arrows clown knives stingrays alligator gar snakeheads peacock bass red devils Jaguars pacu red tail catfish tiger shovel nose catfish and datnioides on the list
Out of all you keep from South America why not the predator South American cichlids like the red devil cichlid? The majority of the cichlids you refer to are not easy finds from your Petco PetSmart shops. I have to drive forever to find half of what your talking about except the Oscar of course. But the varieties of the Oscar’s is amazing. The lemon Oscar’s, the albinos, long fins, the tiger Oscar’s do they all share similar personalities?
And if you have a bonded pair, don't bother. Lol. I grew out 3 Oscars, 2 paired off and killed the other. They just killed a pleco. My Full spot watermelon is far to big. Interestingly enough, my Oscars never touched them, they actually wouldn't go near the dead fish. Now my Africans, I've woken up with a skeleton.
