Oscar Cichlids - Astronotus ocellatus • 4" oscar and tankmate of ??

[Rob1984]

Well there's 130g tank here and a 4"oscar going in it hahaha... I'm thinking of maybe a snowflake eel or maybe a lungfish or something along that line ... Or maybe a black ghost knife fish ? Anyone have any experince with these or know if it be alright ? I like big fish... I don't like arowana's or silver dollars, I'm having a hard time finding larger sized fish that appeal to my liking..

My friend had a clown knife went for 4" to 12" in 3 months and killed everything in his tank if he stopped feeding it feeders. It even ate a pictus cat.

unless your friend has a HUGE tank and i mean something along the size of 8'x3'x2' that clown knife is gonna be VERY unhappy.

back on topic: stay aways from black ghost knife and an oscar mix. in your tank size i would suggest you add 1 or 2 of the bigger species of south/central american cichlid. example: jack dempsy, green terror, red texas, and so on. you get the idea.
