Asian Redtail Cats with Oscars

[Cichla dude]

Hi I am very tempting to keep a Asian Redtail Catfish. But he would have to live with 2 oscars that are about 3-4'' each. They would in a 75 for a while but then agian upgraded. There will also be a fire eel in there.
All the help is appercited!!!!!!!!!!

I think the cat would kill your Oscars.

I am going to buy the cat at about 2''.

In the long run he'll kill his tankmates. It may be ok at first, but even if a tankmate is too large for them to be eaten you'll see them take chunks out of the fish.

Long term...plan on a species tank.

at this stage make sure the oscars can't eat the cat, but soon as you know, the oscars will be goners

Ok thanks guys Im not going to do a ARTC. How about a tig or jurense?

didn't you already give an RTC to the "springfield art institute" or something like that?

what brings you to the conclusion you have the tank capacity for another?

IMO they Os will outgrow the tig or jur and eat it and/or kill it. thats an expensive meal. or punching bag.
