wats the differance between a sailfin leapord pleco and a leapord catfish can i see some pics by the way wat did u mean by leapard cactus?
leopard cactus-pseudacanthicas leoparodis L-114 also called red finned sterenella and leopard cactus pleco--this fish is a carnivore while leopard sailfin is a herbivore.
 
I have about 3 oscars 10 inches in length pretty big, i have them in a seperate tank with a texas cichlid, but now algae is forming on the glass so will I be able to throw in a 4 inch pleco? or will the oscars try to eat it?
 
Oscars are known to try to eat things that are even bigger than their mouths. A 10 inch oscar sounds rather large. Even if your pleco doesn't get eaten, it might get harrassed.

yea, good thing i didnt drop the 4 incher in, i've seen what they've done to the feeders, but I do have a 10 inch bichir in the tank also, and they leave the bichir to itself so I'm thinking if I throw in my 12 inch pleco in they should leave it alone too, I'll monitor the tank when I do. but yea koldsoup, I'm afriad that the oscar will try to soup it up too and get pierced by the pleco's fins. Oh well here i go.
