Do you have unusual tankmates?

I have an 8 inch red texas/flowerhorn in a community aquarium. He gets along great with everyone.

How about some unusual combinations of tank mates? I used to have an Oscar and White Cloud tetra. The WC would follow the Oscar like a little puppy and the Oscar never ate him. I only fed the Oscar pellets and frozen food so maybe he didn't realize the WC was supposed to be food. I like to think he was just looking after his little buddy. The white cloud died after about a year ( of natural causes?) and I was going to try another WC. I bought the new WC but while I was floating the bag in the tank the oscar was trying to eat him so I put him in another tank. I would love to hear more stories of this kind of thing.

I fed my turtle a bunch of fancy guppies I had bred, they were full grown, and he ate them all, except one. he bit it, and the whole guppy was in his mouth except the tail, which fell off, then the turtle spit him out! He lived in the tank for like 3 months with no tail until he disapeared.
