get a few eclips cats, they gwt about 14" bright yellow. they look pretty cool in schools of 4-6.

or get a channel. and when it gets fryin size, eat it, then get another one...lol
and video tape you fishin for it in the tank...lol

or a yellow or brown bullhead, the blacks arent that interesting, and my oscar tends to eat them as soon as i put them in, but leaaves the others alone. i dont know if oscars like blacks but you could try it. and blacks tend to grow slower and stay small.(under 10")

I think if you put Chan cat in there it will look outa place ah yeah and you will have no plants and fish left lol.
P.S your tank is bigger than my pond lol.

Yah I kept a channel cat before... whatever fits in its mouth its going to eat, so small fish will prob. be eaten.

Someday, I'll get a channel cat. But not with these fish.

The shark is an irridescent shark not a paroon.

Yeah, channels are awesome. Fast grower, very active. They just get too big.

It's hard to believe your tank is only lit by 2 four foot tubes!!

I caught a baby channel last fall and brought it home to see how it would do in a 120 gallon tank. It loves it. I've been feeding it regular tropical flakes and throw in worm's or night crawler's occasionally.
I've attempted to drop in fish not big enough to eat yet they have either been eaten, or killed or scared enough to hide all the time. I recently purchased a Oscar that I plan to drop into the cat's house when it's large enough to defend itself. My question is will the cat accept the Oscar. As a baby Oscar, I've noticed that it is starting to be defensive of territory like normal.
Does anyone think I have half a chance of when I do put my Oscar in that everything will work out?
My channel is now a foot long

I wish I could afford a 535 gallon setup. I'd like to see pictures also

It's going to be risky and make sure the Oscar is large enough not to be swallowed by the Channel catfish.
