1xBlood Parrot
2xJDs (pair)
5xClown Loaches
1xPleco

265 Gallons (84x24x30)
36" T5 Light for shading, sunlight effects
300 Gallon rated Living Color wet-dry sump
3L of SeaChem Matrix + Bioballss, ceramic rings etc...

As a general rule of course. I know there isn't one definite answer.
4xOscars
1xBlood Parrot
2xJDs (pair)
5xClown Loaches
1xPleco

265 Gallons (84x24x30)

I would wait till they are almost the same size....and even then its not guaranteed that they will not tear chunks out of each other.
You have to be trusted. By the people that you lie to. So that when they turn their back on you. You get the chance to stick the knife in

Hit or miss, man. Depends on your Oscar's temper. Try it for a couple days and see what happens. I doubt they'll kill each other right off the bat.

Its a gamble, sometimes it works out ok and sometimes it doesnt. However dont put in a small oscar that will fit in a larger oscars mouth!!!!
