Oscar Tank Mate,,,green Terror?

[cragz15]

hi all,
does any body think it would be a big mistake to put a baby oscar,,and a baby green terror together.
i am getting a new 190 gallon tank,uk gallons.
i have seen oscars with green terrors,,but then i read different stuff saying only keep oscars on there own,,or with a pair.
any advice,,the oscar and the green terror are my favourite fish,thats the main reasoni want them together.

From tiny its possible it can work, maybe get the GT slightly larger as when small they are very shy, plus the Oscar will grow much faster, have plenty of stuff to break up the tank so they can form territories and you should get away with it, of course, it always depends on the individual fish' personality, but with luck and that size tank you should be ok. Maybe consider adding some dithers as well, silver dollars, tin foil barbs perhaps.
