Hello I have a 6 inch Florida spotted gar with two 5-inch Oscars and a small school silver dollars silver dollars end up in everyone's mouth every once in awhile but have yet to have been eaten but I'm looking for tank mates that will work out with the live feeders that I feed the gar because they say it's not good for the Oscars to eat live feeders
 
If your "live feeders are quarantined and not goldfish they shouldn't be bad for your oscars if u provide your oscars with a good diet.

As far as tankmates that can work:bichirs,fire eels,albino channel catfish and even sauger can work depending on tank space.

My tank has Ample Space I don't know the exactly how many gals but its at least 200 gal. What kind of feeder fish are you referring to Rosie's ,comets example s please
 
Guppies and Rosie's are fine,comets are one of the worst things to feed fish FYI,remember to quarantine your feeders.

thank you I will set one up now I just didn't think about that I only had piranha and discus before I'm new to keeping these large tanks should I treat the feeders for ick as a precautionary Measure

U should only treat them if u actually see a disease,otherwise just quarantine for a week or two. Also if u wanna save some money u can buy minnows by the pound.

If your interested in breeding feeders u can use the 53 gal,stock a mix of celestial danios,guppies,and ricefish which are easy to breed.
