I know scats are known to eat poop, but they would eventually require Brackish to Marine conditions to survive. I would go with catfish species such as 4 Line Catfish or Spotted Pimelodeus. They are not picky eaters, they might just eat the crap on the bottom.

If you've never seen one, here's what they look like:


But seriously, adding another fish to what sounds like an already overstocked tank is only going to make your problem worse. The only way to have less poop in your tank with no additional effort is to keep less fish.

why do you need that? do you think cleaning up a different fish's poop will be better than cleaning up the poop you have now?

more fish = more poop = more cleaning more often.
plain and simple and there is no way around it. if someone tells you different, they're wrong.

It's not really the other fish, just the oscars

As long as your water chemistry stays right, and you syphon once a week let it go...

lol fish that eats poop so you dont have to clean. I wish it was that easy.

The only things that will "eat" detritius (for the most part) are plants...

Just get a python
