Question
1. Can I put a Albino Tiger Oscar, Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, and Red Dragon Flowerhorn into the same tank if it is a 240 gallon? Have them all grow up together and start them small and added to the tank the same time?
2. What other fish will be okay with oscars I heard some catfish and pacus could what else can?
3. Also in another separate tank can I put Peacock Bass in with Jaguar Cichlids?
Hi Thomas
1. No you cannot put these fish together.
2. Catfish, Severums, and Silver Dollars should go well with an Oscar. Make sure you buy the Severums and Silver Dollars a little bigger than the Oscar. You should have no problems.
3. This would depends on the size of your tank. The Peacock needs at least a 70 gallon tank. If your tank is big enough with hiding places, then it would be okay.
