Tank mates

[Tequilacowboy]

Hey, I’m new to this site… was just curious in a 90 gallon is it ok to house two clown plecos with my Oscar’s? They are fine together now because the Oscar’s are still tiny and not aggressive, I provide a lot of housing/hiding spots. But later down the road when the Oscar’s grow will they be okay together?

Welcome to the forum!
Clown plecos stay pretty small, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a large Oscar can eat one. That said, a 90 is already pushing too small for a solo oscar, so I definitely wouldn’t keep one with any other fish in that size tank.

Loaches should not be kept in pairs. They need a group. And although slowly, CL can get big.

The OP was referring to Clown Pleco's.

How wrong I was, I do beg your pudding.

I’m just following up as I’m curious what happened here? Did you end up keeping them together or did you move them out?

clown plecos are pretty secretive and hide a lot.
