Tank mates for Oscars?

I have 2 albino tiger Oscars about 4 inches long in a 55 gallon tank and am planning on moving them to a 125 when I get it and was wondering what I could put in with them so they get to know each other while they are still small and before the move to the bigger tank. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

ummm some sort of armored pleco? That is all I can think of that can take the wrath of an Oscar...

in a 125, with 2 oscars, you would need extra filtration and be up to par with water changes....but you could have some convicts (2 -4 the same sex or 1 m/f combo), 1 jack dempsey, 2 br parrots, or a plec...if it was me, id go with the 2 oscars, a pair of cons, and maybe a bn pleco ......just a few suggestions....but only 1 of the mentioned not all of them...but I would NOT add anything else in that 55 gal even if your oscars are still small....their size isnt an issue now but their waste is ....get the 125 first before you add anything else ...
