just be careful you need a BIG tank check out this link:

"They can be kept with fish of like size, but you should exercise caution when doing this as aggression issues can occur. Possible tank mates include Jack Dempsey, Convicts (one or more of the same sex, as a breeding pair will become VERY aggressive), Tinfoil Barbs, Silver Dollars, Spotted Silver Dollars, Bala Sharks, Common Plecostomus, Clown Loaches, Pictus Catfish, and African Brown Knife. Do understand that some of these possible tank mates are schooling fish or the fish can get quite large so do your research on size and minimum tank requirements before you add them with an Oscar. Oscars require a minimum tank size of 75 U.S. gallons or bigger for ONE Oscar. Remember, bigger is always better. A good filter and regular water changes are required as Oscars are messy fish." from the link
