I have a 210 gallon tank with two oscar's. I'm looking for some tankmates. It would be nice to have some good looking big fish to clean up after them. The make a big mess so there tends to be a lot of leftover food in the bottom of the tank. I would be interested in a cool pleco not a common one since I just got rid of mine. Anybody have anything let me know.

Thanks
 
i have always had good luch with redtailed botias...they are quick and stand up to any cichlid you have in the tank....when i had oscars, thats all i would get and i wouldnt feed them, just let the oscars be the pigs they are and they will keep the tank nice and clean
 
OH and get at least 6...they do better in a group, they are very social fish:)
 
no but in the same family....clown loaches are very fragile and have tendencies to get ich....botias are very strong and great fish to keep
 
Agreed with Apexden. Go with any kind of loach. They will be the first ones to eat the leftovers from you O's. Pretty entertaining and will have a blast in your 210.

I have a 'chocolate' Pleco, the orange type, that I want to rehome...It's pretty big right now, maybe 11-12"? if hes going into a 210, I'll let him go cheap...I also have 2 big oscars that I want to rehome if your interested, again cheap to the right home, a one eye'd albino and a tiger-both beautiful!
