Tank mates for a pair of Oscars.

Red hook silver dollars look pretty good when they mature, some get patterns.
My silver dollars main diet is what comes out of my oscars gills.
Nothing hits the ground

Thanks. I don't know if this is the same one because the seller only had the post up about 12 hours before I was loading it into the back of a truck. This setup is actually pretty cool. It doesn't have a filter pump because the aeration forces the water into the chamber up top. I've just wrapped some carbon up in a filter pad and stuffed it in there. Water went crystal clear in a night.

Yeah, but I've had bad luck with catfish. I like the look of clown loaches, but from what I've read, I wouldn't be able to stock as many as I should. This tank isn't quite that big.

you should have a synodontis eupterus they help out alot and they are cool looking and they are active along as there is plants in the tank

The add I read said the tank could be used as a freshwater or saltwater, but the owners only used it as a fresh. And that the chiller had never been ran. Sound familiar????

Yeah, I guess that's the one. They must have listed it more than once.

My Oscar is accustomed to live food as well... so much so that he ate all but 1 of my Emerald Cory Cats. Mind you, hes only 3 inches, and the Cats are 2 inches...

Oscars eat anything that fits in their mouths (everything but the Banana Plant I have).

Oh, before anyone gets bent out of shape, he gets fed 1 live Molly every 2 weeks. Home Bred, not from nasty store conditions.

i like the silver dollar idea, i just may do that in my tank...tired of just getting a pleco to solve the problem of un-eaten food. dollars are a lot easier on the eyes too.
i have 2 oscars and they are living with 2 golden weather loaches about 8 in each.. they seem to do good at picking up the spare spit out stuff..
