replacing tiger oscar tankmates

[Sasori]

So I have a 3 year old tiger oscar- I have raised her from a itty bitty thing with a small herd of emerald cory's, a bristlenose and a convict. I moved from Maine to Connecticut and brought them all with me. Due to the stress (I'm guessing) I lost the bristlenose and all but one of the corys. The oscar never picked on any of them but I need a new cleanup crew and I am worried about her attacking new ones- especially the corys because they are small. What do you all think I could replace them with?

I have a 75 gallon so nothing too big, I am pushing it already lol

how big are the corys ?

and some doras catfish would be good but hide a lot or a sinyo catfish would be great loads of kinds and just a common plec will be fine

be verrrrrrrry careful with cory cats and bigger cichlids. i've had a jaguar attempt to eat a cory a while back and it did NOT end well. once the jaguar got the cory in its mouth, the cory erected its pectoral and dorsal spines and get stuck deep in the jaguars mouth. i had to cut the cory out with small scissors..

along with a common pleco i use ramhorn snails ,gold mystery snails and apple snails.
they do a hell of a job for me.

yea my snails do wonders and they multiply like crazy, I'm constantly having to throw them in my pond with my comets and turtles for a little extra protein

But snails and other inverts are possible the most efficient cleaners. Just be careful: oscars love arthropods

Pictus catfish are large enough and active.
