Hey I got a L-190 last week, and he is a cool guy but I noticed him earlier headbutting my oscars anytime they get near his cave. I assume this is normal but do either fish pose any signifigant risk to each other? The pleco is a good 5" and the O's are about 4"

They should be fine.. the Royal is just defending his territory.. which is the cave.. I wouldn't worry about it... Just make sure to add wood in your tank.. driftwood... How big is your tank?
 
Oh he has DW, thats what I built his cave out of. I have 2 Longfin Oscars and the plec in a 75 atm with a FX5 and magnum 350, depending on how the 2 O's end up interacting I will either split them up, 1 O in the 75 and Oscar/plec in a 90 or I will move all 3 into a 140 and go salt with the 75.
