Tankmate for Oscar

[hazfish]

I have a 90 gallon tank that I am currently running a fishless cycle on. I was wanting to put a Sun catfish and an Oscar in the tank. My local pet store has a 6.5" Sun cat that I was thinking of putting with a 2" Tiger Oscar. I figured with the cat's size advantage the O would not be able to eat it even if it reaches 10" in the first year or so. What are your oppinions on this combo.

Nice combo theregoing to eat you out of house and home you may want to add a couple more tankmates maybe a couple of cons.

Welcome to MFK, just so you know Oscars are one of the best cichlids in the fish world.

That sounds like that will be a good combination.
