Forgot to mention teugelsi or weeksi. You may have tt get creative with feedings to get food to the Polys with the Oscars appetite.

Thanks for the info! What species would you recommend I add to the mix? Should I avoid adding any lower jaw species? There would be a BGK, an Oscar, a fire mouth, and a texas cichlid in there too if that makes a difference.

You can go LJ, ornate and del are good size with LJ, just dont add a senegal or any species that dont get bigger than 10” just to be safe.

Instead of the Ornate and Delhezi or as a third?

As a third. Just try to get a large bgk from ur local aquarium society if lucky.

Sadly I live in MA and don’t have one, at least that I know of. Had to buy from my LFS today since they only have really small ones. It’ll be a few months at least before I get moving on this set up so hopefully he’ll get some decent length on him by the time I’m bringing the other stock in.
