i want to get two oscars around two to three inches. but i have some small clown loaches around two inches so is there any possibility that the oscars will eat the clown loaches before they grow up because i know oscars grow fast.

yes its very possbile since the crown loaches are very slow growing fish ur best bet is too make tons of hiding spots for em and make shure the oscars are fed good so they dont get any ideas

another thing is with 2 oscars the dominate one makes life suck for the weaker one so get 3 so the less dominate ones even out the most domintate one

or even get 4 to even it out more because 3's the bare minmum right

If the tank is big enough you should not have any problems with aggression, as for the clown loaches, if you don't feed the oscars live feeders ime they will usually leave the clown loaches along.

i wouldent risk it especialy a slow fish like loaches but i did have oscars with a tiney jewel fish and they would not mess with him but that jewel was really agressive.
