    There are tons of other fish that will do well in there... I would stay away from the large predators though..

    I used to keep Oscars because they were "cool" and even bred them... but I will tell you what, a nice planted community is SO much more rewarding that 1 empty tank with 1 big fish in it :D

    Also most South American Cichlids are very close to keeping an Oscar.... Oscars are SA btw... so you care for say an Angelfish like you would an Oscar...
