Brandon wants to know:
I saw how the People at Wal-mart fed ghost shrimp to their cichlids. Since the Walmart fish suck it only said Regular African Cichlid and Oscar. I am going to get them at Walmart instead. Since SA Cichlids and African cant be together, which ones should I get? What cichlids are compatible with Oscars that Won’t grow over 8 INches( I know oscars get huge though)

If you know oscars get huge, why would you want something that stays under 8″? The likelihood of the smaller species being completely dominated and outcompeted is huge. I also hope that you realize with the size of the oscar, the very large tank you’ll need to try to mix it with anything, especially another cichlid.

firemouth cichlids will perfectly match your oscars, they get along together and firemouths doesn’t grow very big unlike other cichlids.
i have a tank with tiger and albino oscars with firemouth cichlids. Since last month until today, i don’t suffer from any problems except from cleaning their tank because they eat so much and ofcourse, when they eat, they make the tank dirty.
well, that’s all, i hope i helped you.
and, gooDluck!^^
