tiger oscars

what would be some good foods for a tiger oscar? also would he eat 6 inch glass fish and 4 inch gold nugget pleco?

 

[Dwarfs]

Large cichlid pellets, and large frozen foods (Crustaceans) would be good foods

Do you mean 6 one-inch glass fish or one 6" glass fish? I've never heard of glass fish that big When the oscar gets to full size it would probably try to eat both of the fish you mentioned. I would go for a bigger pleco, if an oscar trieds to eat yours, both fish would probably die

How big is the tank?

 

[penguinpimp1990]

my bad 6 inch glass catfish........ my tank is 70 gallons......so maybe a bigger pleco?

A larger pleco yes, but the glass cat may be in danger when the oscar gets big

I personally use chinese algae eaters in the cichlid tanks they seem to be the only ones that don't get hurt when kept with cichlids, regular plecos and even fancy varieties are too slow moving and get bitten or their eyes taken out chinese algae eaters can be aggresive but they will hold there own with a cichlid and do a great job cleaning

My dad has told me stories of when he had a CAE, he said that it beat the cr*p out of his medium sized cichlids

A common Pleco would be good For your tank

we have chinese algae eaters with bleekeri cichilds, keyhole cichlids, assorted africans, and angel fish, the chinese algae eaters are very large too and while they every once in awhile chase our cichlids we have never had a problem with them.
