Oscars with Bichirs

[Monstaf1sh]

I've got 2 endlis and one ornate and have 3 tiger oscars growing rapidly in my grow out tank. I wanted to know whether it would be a good mix having birchirs and oscars in the same tank, or would somebody lose an eye?

I had all my bichirs with my 4 full grown oscars for ages and they were all fine. How big is the tank and how long are you planning on keeping them in the "grow out" tank?

if the oscars are big enough to eat the bichirs dont do it, my oscar just ate my bichir and i am pissed!!!!!!!!!

I have a little oscar with my sen, they're fine, when the oscar gets big it's moving out and going with my 2 ornates

generally if the size ratio is not dangerous they'll be alright

At this stage the Oscars will be dinner but was thinking about moving them to the 6x2x2 when they are big enough. I was seeing if there were any horror stories like oscars biting an eye out of the birchirs.
I'm worried more about the bichirs as they are worth $500+ each and i bought my oscars for $15 each

Errghh..... bichirs might have little things left to eat.

I was thinking of a similiar set up

not to sure but one thing i do know is that oscars eat there tank mates often.

 

[Monstaf1sh]

Even if thes oscars grow to full size they have absolutely zero chance of eating my birchirs my birchirs are very big.

i agree with CDM bichirs might have little things left to eat, so i dont think is a good idea, unless you have the patience to watch your polys get their part everytime.
