Giant danios always worked with mine

 

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Tin Foils or Silver dollars would work...

 

[twistedhumor]

barbs are desent size, 7in maybe havnt been to the place that sells them in awhile

i use danios for dithers in my cichlid tank but they always end up getting them lol not fast enough i guess

 

[azfishfool]

really not fast enough for oscars? mine never got them, well in that case then silver dollars

i had tiger barbs with my 8" o, and the o never even attempted to go after the barbs.

The Giant Danios might become food for the Oscars. It don't usually happens when there's light but once the lights go out.


How big is the tank?

tinfoils are great fish but woooh they put food away<also get big!!!
silver sharks are great fishes and very fast,,,i have 3tins and 2silvers in with my pair of oscars and oscars dont give them a second glance but my tins are huge
