I've had both silver dollars and oscars in the tank when my pbass were trained onto pellets, either one would be good.
If you get silver dollars get a min of 3, they do better in groups and will be good teachers, my silver dollars now even eatthe other fishes poop LOL

What i did was, stuff a pellet in with a shrimp. then slowly added more pellets to the shrimp then more pellets less shrimp then more pellets. i used a gold fish as a dither.... I got the pictures to prove it.
anything that feeds aggressively and eats what you want the pbass to eat.
esp. when they eat the same way pbass do.
