---------------------------------------------------

55 gallon

2 dojo loaches

1 oscar

10 gallon

1 black more

2 goldfish

1 sukerfish

Dojos from what I understand are pretty mild mannered but the Oscar might not like sharing his tank with the Dojos. I would say they are not compatible.

huh well the oscar is still a baby and both loaches are fully grown (10 in and 8 in) but is there any chance that the slimy coating on the dojo loaches will offer any uhh.... how can i word this?.... will it offer any distaste to the oscar? kinda like catfish skin

Butterfly

Nope, in fact when he gets bigger he will probably... (how shall I say this) relish a little dojo for lunch

noooooooooooooo! not my loaches! well i guess they are gonna get there own tank again..... i think a 20 gallon will work, with lots of sand

Butterfly

Sounds like a winner The loaches will love it.

Well the loaches are happy and thank you very much butterfly for your help, i even had enough room to add 2 more loaches. I did some more research this time on catfish and i'm am just gonna put a plecoo in there cause its what my freind keeps with his Oscar and my dad said and i quot, "If your Oscar is stupid enough to bite a fish with barbs on it then let it die", sounds a little crule but i don't wanna care for a stupid fish....... maybe a dumb one but not a stupid one.

Anyways my loaches are very happy so thank you again butterfly.

I have read from other peoples posts that a pleco and an oscar will go nicely together. If they are around the same size and they grow up together they will look very nice together.

Your most welcome glad to hear you were able to get more dojos.
Gunnie has a pleco with her Oscars and it does fine.
