I've had my tiger Oscar for nearly a year and is roughly 8-9" and shares a 100gal tank with 2 endlicheri bichirs who arnt the fastest at finding food of all types.
The issue I'm having, despite the 2 polys both being 10inches and decent girth, Oscar sees food and takes it no matter how full it is, crushes massivore and makes a ton of mess in the tank and scares the bichirs. I'm curious if there's a better plan than donating/relocating the Oscar. Open to getting 1 or 2 tankmates that would keep her entertained maybe.
A group of bala sharks/tinfoils?
I 100% am keeping the polys.
Oscar has gone to bite polys if food is in their jaws and they have defended themselves but it's not something I enjoy having to worry about if I don't stuff the Oscar enough before hand
