Unfortunately, you have learnt a very valuable lesson, Oscars like eating little fish and given the chance, they well. Tank mate shouldn't really be any smaller than four or 5 inches. Even a very large Oscar could probably manage to eat a 4 inch fish. If you've ever seen an extremely large Oscar, you'll know what I'm talking about, they've got huge amounts

This is the one drawbacks of keeping an Oscar in the minimum size tank, you can't really have any other fish. I think you could make the tank the stunning if you really put some thought into it. A little bit of rock and some nice bog wood and it would look really good.

Agreed. Oscars make great "wet pets."

I felt pity for the guppy

anyway, just add some decors (think you're an experimenting interior designer) in the tank to make yourself busy.
