I have a standard 180 gallon. It has two 11-12" oscars in it right now. I am looking for something relatively easy to find and inexpensive to put in with them. I would like a bottom dweller or something oddball (ex: not a cichlid). But I am honestly open to anything other than dithers (unless they are small cichlids).
 
Also, any Columbus, OH people with larger fish they just want to find homes for that would go good with these fish let me know! I'm honestly just looking for one or two more fish to fill the tank in without spending much money.
 
a large pearsi they are cheap and peaceful
 
Chocolate would be nice or bichir, the problem is with the oscars that size you are going to have to find something probably someone brought back to the store with size on it already.

Exactly, I'm just looking for ideas but I'm sure I will end up with another "tankbuster" special that kind of just happens with luck. Same way I got the lighter colored Oscar.
 
How about a catfish? A 4 line pim (pimelodus blochii) gets about a foot long should be able to hang with Oscars. Or a unique pleco?
 
I'd go with polypterus too, or preferably, a large hardy catfish like Pimelodus blochii
 
I was gonna say bichirs as well. A nice big ornate or something would look good in there. Would you be interested in a gibby pleco? I have 2 I'd like to rehome they're 6-7" right now
