Oscar and Tiger Barbs.

[jeaninel]

I have Bala sharks in with my Oscar and other American cichlids if you want something non-cichlid.

How much would you say a small Green Texas would go for?

3-5$

Like I said I had 11 inch unfaded Texas he was awesome but never turned red

That's because red Texas are hybrids, not pure h. Cyano or caprintis. This is the problem with common names for different sp.

Tiger barbs can be food for your Oscar even at 2". Are you looking for actual tank mates or ditchers?

I had a 6" Oscar HALF-swallow 4" Albino African Clawed Frog.....I came home from work one day and he just had a LEG sticking out of his mouth and he swam around like that for the next day until it was digested enough for him to finish swallowing.

Tiger Barbs and Oscars? I wouldn't.

I like the suggestion, but I actually have two Balas.

Jeanine has quite a set-up, but you may want to consider Balas are a schooling fish best kept in groups of 6.........each one has the potential to reach 12" from my sources.

Their size is the reason I don't have more. I haven't noticed abnormal behavior from them. They still swim around the tank together. They don't seem very shy either.
