will a birchir be ok with an oscar & bocourti in a 125g tank? if so name some breeds that would be best with that combo

thanks in advance :D
 
I have my bichirs in an 180 gallon tank with a bocourti, bunch of silver dollars and some datnoids. The bocourti tends to ignore the bichirs although it went after a juvie fei feng.
 
depend on fish personality. before i kept my bichirs with two sub adult oscars. they are bullies and eventually have to keep them in isolation and sold later.
 
my oscars are around 4 and 5 inches bocouti prolly around 3.5 and they seem pretty calm right now i actually have a JD that could probably fit inside my biggest oscars mouth and i have had him for about a month now they all get along great i had a peacock eel but he got stuck in the filter and died :( so thats kinda the reason im looking into birchirs i dont think there quiet the escape artist

suggestion of breeds would be great color is mainly wat im looking for and size ofcorse dont want them to be an expensive snack :(

and if anyone knows some1 who sales them on this website leme kno
 
my oscar is pushing 7 right now and hes a still a big teddy bear however my other one at about 4 is starting to get an attitude prolly going to get rid of it
 
your oscars will need a bigger tank and u will have to get a bichir that can't get eaten by the cichlids...
 
all you need is a place for bichir to hide i would go delhizi for look and size. ihave 10" and 8" oscars with a 12" ornate 10"delhizi and 10" senegal and never have had an issue in fact they pair well with oscars because they are bottom feeders and is easy to get food past my ever hungry oscar
