I was wondering if pictus cats would be good tank mates with two oscars? I have a 75 gallon tank I was wanting to add some cats to help clean(if pictus cats infact do clean).
Oscar Mates?

I wouldn't suggest it. I had some before with a pacu and they striped it clean and as for oscars my friends foot long tiger ate his pictus and pleco!!! Even my LFS had considered moving the pictus cats out of their oscar tank because they are beating them up and the oscars are only 4" long!
Thanks I guess that wouldn't be a good idea since my oscars are about 7" long. Do you know of any cats would go good with the oscars. My cory cats do fine with them.
Unless you have a ginormus tank channel cats arent really suitable. Most of the synodontis group of cats would work. Somtimes pictus can work it depends totally on the temperment of your fish.
I've had pictus cats be fine with oscars. Oscars arent that bad if they have their "space"
I would put a big no-no on a channel cat too. I had one hit 18" in about 2 years and he wasnt slowing down on growth.
I would check into some smaller cats, maybe a lima shovel nose, some synondontus, or plecos
As stated above, it really all depends on the fish's attitude.
