75 gallon is great for an oscar! Congrats on getting it a proper size, most people suggest that smaller is better since like most animals they start out as babies! There is room for more than just an oscar, but keep in mind algae eaters get big too, and thats a lot for one tank. But at least for now it should be fine, plecos seem to get along fine with oscars. Make sure you pick out a good one that you like, he will be with you a long time:)

Baby or not, it will be 10 inches faster than you imagine. What kind of algae eaters? Common plecos get 20+ inches and are too big for that tank when full grown.

it depends on what type of algae eater you got.. like what the other guy said they can get big and the oscar will also get big so the space inside might get a bit crowded..

As long as you have moving water to keep it oxigenated he should be fine. When he gets bigger he'll eat the alge eaters.
