Okay, I'm thinking of adding a new tank to my collection. The LFS always delcares that oscars cannot be kept with any other fish. However, I notice they do fine with large and small plecos.
So my idea is this. I'd like to get a 75 gal tank, put in a couple of the same size red oscars, and one of the 20 inch fire eels the LFS has right now. It'll be planted, and if I can find one large enough, I'd like a black shark to inhabit the tank as well. Later on I'll buy a fairly good sized pleco.
I've seen two oscars housed together- they seem okay if they're the same size. And fire eels reach lengths of 30''. Black sharks can get up to 20''. So do you think this may possibly work- based on your experience? I don't really want to know what you THINK, :? but what you KNOW. What's worked for those of you with oscar tanks, please.
