Oscar question

[michaelx]

i have just set up a new tank and have just put an oscar in it.
what i want to know is some smaller schooling fish that could go in there with an oscar. i know i want some clown loaches and maybe some silver dollars, but is there any other fish that would work?

gaint danios, tinfoil barbs, bigger tetras, bala sharks(silver,tricolour all the same shark) theres a shoiling fish but gets quite big and expensive but beatiful its the red lined torpedo barb

How big is the tank?
And redline torpedoes would get eaten due to their shape, unfortunately. Tinfoils and silver dollar types are great suggestions, as are some of the catfish types that hang out together. (Danios would get eaten also)

Good call on the loaches. Bala sharks might be a good dither too.
