just bought my new green texas cichlid yesterday he and my oscar are in 120L atm have purchased a 250L for my roon its huge!!! (yay me) are these fish able to live together with plenty of room i no they both will reach 8'-15' one day any help would be great as my cichlid knolage is not all that great thakyou.

I have never had a Texas Cichlid before but I do know that they can be aggressive. I certainly won't be putting an Oscar and a Texas in a 250 L tank, I think you're asking for trouble, there isn't enough room.

not a good choice then when i get the new tank ill separate them thought they might be ok though because of there size range??? thanks for your help.

Na Just stick with the Oscar in the 250 litre as OFL says your asking for trouble there.

I didn't know oscars grew up to 15 foot.
I guess i need an upgrade soon.

i hope the 120L will be big enough to house the texas, and i aggree with the boss , there's gonna be terrotorial issues for sure when both fish are kept together in the 250L.
Just give the 250Gl to your o, he'll be happier that way for sure.

250l is only really big enough for one oscar

Also texas are very aggressive when they get mature, your oscar will have a hard time and will get beaten badly and even killed
