150 Gallon Tank Oscar Tank Idea

[~Matt~]

Would this stocking work for a 150 or 160 gallon aquarium?

One Albino Oscar
Two Eclipse Catfish
Seven Black Convict Cichlids
Three Jack Dempsey Cichlids

If not, don’t be afraid to call me an idiot and explain why, lol.

Thanks!

I think it might be alright, but watch the tank closely in case the cichlids start fighting. I may be wrong, I haven't owned an oscar in a while, and he may not be compatible with the other cichlids. Sorry about the vague answer.

Okay, thank you for the comment. A vague answer is better than no answer lol

My only worry would be if the convicts start breeding. They get very territorial.

What if I replaced them with a few severum?

Hmmm. They are bigger but I don't know much about them. Even the jacks can get quite aggressive from my understanding. Mines still small so time will tell. Now I had an Oscar in a 75 and he killed off his tank mates even a big common pleco. Now your tanks bigger so it may work.
