richo_00 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 .I have about an 9cm oscar in a 3ft tank I was wondering if I could put any other fish in with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 So long as the three footer is just a temporary grow out tank (and it would need to be as just the Oscar will outgrow that anyway), yes it can be. Other American Cichlids, Pleco, Salmontail Catfish, Tinfoil Barbs - lots of species are suitable. Just remember all these fish grow fast so you will need a MUCH bigger tank sooner than you think. These are also messy fish - lots of food in = lots of food out. As such good filtration and water maintenance essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

none Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Lots of fish are suited. No one species is "best". Depends on the ultimate tank size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
