Hey everyone,
Just wondering what you guys recommend to put in my 125 it currently has 4 Oscars and I wanted to get a catfish of some kind that isn't a rtc.

If it has 4 oscars and you aren’t going to move any of them in the future then I wouldn’t put anything else in there.

I'm gonna build a bigger tank starting in the middle of the month. I'm not sure how big it's going to end up though.
 
I agree wait till the tank is up and running before any additions.

They may be cute and small now but in no time you got

Keeping a 125gal clean with one is a pain let alone four plus something else.
The poo is literally as big around as a pencil 2 to 3 inches long.

I have learned the hard way don't count the tanks till they are up and running.

I agree with the others, Oscars are incredibly messy. I had one Oscar in my 120’with my bichirs and I was having to do 50% 3xs a week sometimes 4 I sold the Oscar cuz he started going after the bichirs and replaced him with a pair of Malawi barracuda and now I’m only have to do wc once or sometimes twice a week. The Oscar was 8” and now the 2 barracuda are both around 6”. So 4 Oscars in a 125 is gonna be a lot of work, let alone adding to it
