So i think its 120 us gallons getting next week i have stuffed my filter with more media so it can cycle faster to the point i doubt it but can rams live with oscars if not its ok i want to have sand wood rocks not to many plants as idnt use ferts co2 what could i have in the tank i want a baby oscar ther everywer roun here and a firemouth cichlid and another cichlid but cant remember so what would u have ??
 
what's the question here exactly? Is it simply "what would you stock in a 4x2x2"?

no, rams should not be placed with oscars. You wont want plants with them either.

Itts what would u stock with oscars in that tank and i said mostly rocks wood ect
 
Broken English doesn't really work, try asking your question again so we can understand it.
 
baby oscars soon become big adult oscars, and if they pair they're unlikely to accept cichlid tankmates.
 
Why not get 1 baby Oscar and the firemouth and then get 1 of the smaller plecs? Could try a green terror or jack dempsey with the Oscar but both are going to be generally more aggressive. Oscars are big softys but will eat anything that fits in their oversized mouths. Better to add them at them at the same time and at the same sizes
 
Oh and make sure you have very good filtration, I have a baby tiger Oscar that is exactly 4 inch in length and around 2 inch depth, a 3 inch firemouth and 3 inch orange spotted plec and still have to vacuum the sand once or twice a week. They are very messy even at this size, don't let that put you off though. They are nice fish to have IMO. Mine are in a 250 litre at the moment but will be going in a 48x24x20h tank on Monday
