Suggestions with 300L

Hi TASA,

So I mentioned that I got a firemouth cichlid (he is now called Jeff) from @BadgerBadger.
The tank is a 300L and I only have the FM and I had 4 guppy fry and 4 bristlenose pleco fry (they were about a month and a half old) but I think the FM already got to 2 guppies and I suspect he got to the plecos since I never see them at all.
I want to get a tank mate for Jeff but I have no Idea what to get (I want another cichlid preferably). I read that oscars could go with FM’s but if that is the case then should I get a male Oscar or a female oscar?

Any suggestions and help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'd get more firemouths, they are social species! If he's too big then an oscar may work. Just watch the water quality in a smaller tank like this (In terms of oscars). O's are usually hard to sex but the gender shouldn't matter too much
