I don't really think that P. blochi and Oscar are particularly good tank-mates...

The general rule is to have 4L x 2L x 2L, where L is the length of the fish. Put 8" into that, and you get a tank that is 32 x 16 x 16, which you probably can't get, but a US 75g tank is 48 x 18 x 20 or something like that, so should work well for you...
