Fish Compatability

[george4]

HI all ! Just an enquirey as to weather putting an 8" peacefull oscar with a group of 2" torpedo barb is suicide! Am asking as a want to move oscar from 190 litre to 400 litre tank but do not want to take torpedo barb out of 400 litre as they look so nice in there! Also does anyone have any favourite feed ideas for oscars as mine is just on catfish pellets @ the moment...

Many thanks !

I wouldn't personally risk it, even a relatively peaceful oscar will see a 2" fish as food

I wouldn't put them together, theres a chance they will be eaten as the size difference is quite big.

My oscar is on Hikari cichlid gold, but any quality pellet should be fine.

i wouldnt put them together, considering thte price of red line torpedo barbs.

if I was you, have the fish switch tanks, torpedos to the Oscar's tank, oscar to the torpedos' tank

well you could feed him redline torpedo barbs
no i would deff say no to that idea as i think itll be an exspensive feed!!!!
oscars love feeder shrimp/prawns/crab stick/mussles as treats
