Can I House These To Together?

[fishykisses]

I don't know anything about these guys and i'm toying with the idea....Can i have a full grown Oscar and a full grown jack dempsey in a 75G?
i have a feeling it's too small but i'm not sure, i'm not going to buy them full grown, i just don't want to upgrade tanks again, if i do this.

you should be fine as long as those are the only 2 fish in the tank, deff. dont put a breeding pair of dempsey's in three tho. or they may kill the oscar. one most likely will be fine with an oscar.

If you are adding both as adults the chances are they will kill each other. If you grow them up together then it will work up to a certain point and then there is still a pretty fair chance they'll end up fighting it out. Cichlids are instinctively not friends.
