Just got my clown knife today and Im really mad at my oscars because they keep nipping at him.I realize the oscars are both about 7 inches and the CK is only about 2.5, but the LFS guy said theyd be fine. I dont know how long the CK will last, but I swore to myself that if the oscars eat him Im gettin rid of both of them.

Another case of a LFS guy trying to score a sale, maybe you should put the CK by itself until its a little bigger.
Or maybe the Oscars will leave him alone once they get used to him, but I wouldn't risk it.

in a 10 gal, its not going to take to long, I have mine in a 30 gal, waiting for it to grow a little before going with my oscars
Give him PLEANTY of hiding spots until he grows up some. Agreed, someone LOOKING for a sale. I personally would never put a CK with Oscars anyway
I have a small cup in the tank right now for a hiding place but he still prefers hiding in the back corner right under my pleco. By the way, Ill try to post some pics real soon so you can see the size differenc betwwen my oscars an my CK.
The other issue is territory. Cichlids can be territorial. At this point, remove the CK until it grows larger. And when it's big enough to put back, rearrange the tank decor so all the fish can establish new territories.
my ck lives along with 2 oscars with no problems but i got them all about the same time, plus there in a 240g so they both have plenty of room and hiding places for the ck
I got the CK in the 10g now, but i have 1 question, is it normal for new fish not to eat because ive had him for 2 day now and as far as i know he hasn't eaten a thing
