I thought you got a smaller Oscar a week or so ago? what happened to him/her? If you still have it are they getting along better now?

Nah i ended up giving my bigger oscar to my friend because he was a bit too agressive for my tank and got mad with the little one in there.

Any suggestions???

with a tank that size should give you a good range of choice.
Kribs are very colourful, rams, cookoo, they are the dwarfs. all depends on your water and personal prevence.

Why not save the last fish, incase you end up finding a cool fish down the road. To answer your question Jack Dempseys are nice IMO.

sevrums, gold or green, both have awesome colours once older.

They would tear up my fish, way too agressive, i am thinking about gettin a pearl cichlid now. I like their colors and i heard there not aggressive.

Edit: The JAck Dempseys not severums

I was thinking about a severum but i dont really like the round look of fish, what do you guys think about the pearl cichlid?

 

[FrAnK3333]

I suggested them because my friend has 5 in their own tank, its a very nice setup. Why not go for a geo?

I don't know anything about the pearl cichlid, but my severum is one of my favorites in my tank
