Pictus Catfish and Oscar

Hi. I currently have an 4" Oscar and 3" Jack Dempsey in my month old 75G. I'm looking into picking up some bottom feeders.


Four Pictus Cats are what I'm looking at for this set up or possibly a 6-10" Plec.

Anyone keep Pictus successfully/unsuccessfully with Oscars? I hear that those Cats only hit 4-6 inches so I'm wondering if that my be a bit small for when the Oscar gets large? Thanks.

Thanks.

I see some pics online of Oscars with catfish stuck in their mouths... wouldn't want to ever see that in person.

The tank was cycled in about 5 days when I used seeded filter material from another tank.

I'll post some pics of the Pictus when I get them. You've seen my EBJD in the JD forum... The Finicky One.

Here's my little 4" Oscar... No problems with him being a picky eater. He seems to be growing wider each day. Oink!
