i think it's a bad idea. oscars can range from very mild to overly aggressive, it's worth a try though.
I'd disagree, I wouldn't try it. Both the Glass and Centipede are a 'fragile' species of Knife, and an Oscar would also most likely look at them as food. They are best kept in a separate tank.peewee;3761505; said:
I wouldnt call them fragile, just not "oscar aggresive". Fish have to be able to hold there own especially with a fish like an oscar. Maybe a huge tank and LOTS of places to hide...I probably wouldnt try it.Hoyo12;3762817; said:I'd disagree, I wouldn't try it.

Oh no, Centipedes a very fragile, lol. Hard to feed, have to have a perfect tank temp., and need very clean water.boldtogether;3762876; said:I wouldnt call them fragile, just not "oscar aggresive".

they should trust you on this one as you have a body count
to back what you say...You can put them in the tank you just have to have lots of hiding spaces and a big tank I bought a tank off of craigslist and the guy put angelfish corydoras catfish and frontosa in the same tank I think it will be fine
They will have a spot to hide, but it will only be a matter of days before they are caught out in the open, and the Oscar gets his chance.thepwner70;3765996; said:
Final answer: NO
There are no ifs, and, or buts about it.
no problem, it was just a thought, i got a single african brown knife to put with the oscar, there doing fine, its a pretty tame oscar, got a procholodis and acara in there as well
