oscars and?????

[i love cichlids]

hi i have just recently joind this forum but ive had fish for years.
Ne way i was just wondering im getting a 4ft tank and i already have two red oscars(4inch) and i was wondering if Salmon Catfish would be ok with them??? Also would i be able to have convicts with them???
please help me with any suggestions welcome!!!
thanks.

IMO 2 oscars is just about maximum for that size tank.

thanks, but ill see how big they get to in the first six months and then ill ask again.

Remember oscars can attain an adult size of 16" or more and I would not base my decision on their growth in 6 months time.

Unless you plan to stunt them they can reach a very large size in a 4ft tank by means of good water quality, filtration and diet.

As for keping convicts with them...IMO...not a good idea.

Good luck and keep us posted!!
