Oscars with silver dollars?

[Punjabiking1500]

Hope you guys are good
Oh and 4 oscars in 100 gal they are starting to grow and I im hearing that will our outgrow the tank 2 have formed a pair and other two are getting beaten up so I have decided To rehome the albinos and keep the pair with silver dollars
So I wanted to know that will the silver dollars be okay with my oscars?

At one point I had 11 of them with my girl Toni.

Toni didn't like them at all. Their constant swimming about stressed her out. She would pout about when I had them. After rehoming them she became more outgoing/active. Your experience may be different as each fish is as individual as we are.

I don’t worry about the oscars of getting hurt coz SDs cannot
But can oscars hurt the SDs ?

Good work on rehoming two of the Oscars. Your remaining two, in a 100g tank, when they max out, are going to be a right handful bio wise. The right thing to do is to forget about the silver dollars. And if they do pair up then that could mean trouble for the dollars anyway.

If they are too small, yes the Oscar can hurt them. This one was nearly eaten by Toni. Just tall enough she couldn't get it all the way in her mouth.

Probably best to try and find adult SD's, Oscar's grow so fast and can easily outgrow tankmates and turn them into snacks.

Once fully grown your tank is two small to house two Astronotus.

I have found species of ‘silver dollars’ to be skittish in aquariums smaller than 5ft long. I currently house 16 Mylopus Schomburgkii var. 2 ‘thin bar’ in a 215G tank with 8 Mesoheros Festae. This is just a Growout tank. They will be moving to a 300G tank in a few weeks. The Mylopus are not skittish at all thanks to the size of the tank

Think ur 100g with the two oscars is good enough alrdy

The common silver SDs made my cichlids (and oscar) skittish even in an 8 foot tank. I didn't realize how much they contributed to the bioload (more water chages) until I rehomed them after they were about 5" all around. A 100g will be max bioload (extra large water changes x1 a week) once the oscars reach about 8-10".

I have 3 old SDs with 2 oscars and they are fine. But these oscars would be fine w/o the SDs. Note also that the oscars grew up with these SDs.
At one point I had red hooks also. Oscars didnt care for them.
