Moved to Freshwater & Brackish - General Discussion.



As Elise asked, need more information on tank specs and whatnot, but based on what you've said so far it doesn't sound like you can put anything with it.

Tank size is 6ft by 2ft by 2ft

any idea on the gallons? but that seems pretty big,if the tank is big enough try a big CAE(chinese algea eater). they are some of the toughest,meanest fish i've ever seen

That would have to be one big Chinese Algae Eater...

Oscars tend to be loner type fish you don't have to put anything in with it.

How big is it?

If you are set on a tankmate.....
You basically need to find a Fish that it can't swallow whole, and tough enough to withstand its aggression.

A Large Firemouth comes to mind...but there are plenty of other options you'll just need to research and see what is available to you.

My Tiger Oscar is the opposite gets bullied all the time by a blood parrot which is an inch smaller than him.

Last Question are you are using Feeder Fish?

That will amp up the aggression in Oscars big time
