Oscar and Bichir tankmates

[thebassmaster]

I have a 8 inch ocar and 10 inch Poly seng bichir ideas for tankmates 75 gallon with two emp 400s and a API nexx canister filter if that helps

 

[Hélder Duarte]

Any idea to this someone?

Nothing in the main water column, 75 is tight for an O already, but another bottom dweller could work. Another sen, a P. ornatus, or any other little poly or three, a pleco (choose carefully and feed well or he'll go after your poly's slimecoat.), a larger pimelodius or synodontus maybe (in the 10" range). Really it comes down to how your oscar behaves as it grows. If it's an excepting oscar, maybe you could even keep Silver Dollars, if it's not, you might have to remove your sen.

Nothing.

75 gal is too small for a soon to be adult oscar alone, mush less to add more fish.
