looking for oscar/pleco tankmate

[PirateOscar]

i have a 65 gal tank with a 5 inch tiger oscar and a 6 inch common pleco

was wanting to get a tank mate i was thinking a pike but im pretty sure i 65 gal isnt enough.

also was planing on keeping a feeder tank as well and was wondering if i should buy online.

65 gallon is a pretty good size for the one oscar and pleco, but to add something aggressive that will get large is not a good idea. are u planning to upgrade? feeder tanks are great they save money and try craigslist, that's where i got my 125g.

oscar and pleco are okay for a 65 gallon for life but no tankmates unless you're going to upgrade them to something bigger.

Feeders are not good for you fish. I keep feeders for my bullfrog though and the best way to keep them alive is a 55gallon home depot bucket, and a air pump. Just change the water every other day. Try keeping them in a cool area too, they do better in 60* waters.

my favorite fish to keep with oscars have always been convicts, they dont get too large and they breed like rabits. so you always have feeders

Maybe get a Convict, or a few Silver Dollars.

I wouldn't add any more fish. Both of your fish still are on growing phase. Give them space to grow.

nothing more can go in there u have 2 craping machines already and even tho atm the pleco and oscar dont seem to take up much room, u can not add anything more im afraid, ure tank is fully stocked at the moment.
