Oscar and clown loach

[mustang98]

Is there any conflict of putting a oscar with a bunch of clown loaches. I'm planning for a 110 gallon and I will have a fire eel in it as well.

Thanks,

Nick

They do good together *IF* the Loaches are big and the Oscar small. Oscars grow super fast, if something will fit into his mouth that's where it's eventually going to end up.

i think it will work just fine. I have just one CL and he has made throght some rough times. He is one of my first fish to have. He has made it with lmb,smb, y-perch and a few other natives strong/smart fish. Which is actually kinda crazy cause the lmb ate 4 other types of loaches that were twice the size.

You're lucky the loaches didn't kill your fish on the way down

I agree

Thank you for your help everyone! I've fed the oscars primarily on pellets and they are currently in a tank with some small chiclids temporarily until I get the new tank. I have seen no aggressiveness at all. My largest of the two oscars is probably 5 inches.
