Completely depends on what type of Cichlids (4.5" and 7") that you have. --Mark

The Oscar wil EAT the paradise fish and any other that is small and slinder.. NOT a good idea to add in a Oscar to this tank.. I would fnd another place for the paradise fish and then add in the Oscar.. That would work better.. Turquoise cichlids? Now, that could be a few different species.. but they seem to be American cichlids, so they should do fine.. The Gouramies are also Ok for now, but may become a meal later if it is the smaller ones.. Oscars will eat anything they can get into their mouths.. 

I also changed your poll questions as it was not a "choice" for others to make.. I also give it 30 days to see how other ppl respond to THIS poll..

Thanks so much. I didn't even think about the pardise fish :tongue3: Now I have to have a new plan of action. Thanks again. I posted some pics of Brutus and Zombie on the gallery. If I did it right.
