Red Tail Shark Instead Of A Catfish

[aquamike]

Hi guys,

Could a descent sized red tail shark do fine with 2 small 2-3" Oscars? I want a fish to help clean up food particles from these messy eaters. They are kept in a fairly large tank. 135 gallon.

Thanks for the advice,
Mike

With the Oscars that size, it will probably be okay, but I suspect the Oscars will not tolerate the shark when they get larger. You might want to ask on the NW Cichlids board as it is more a question of the Oscars then the shark. The shark will be pretty ambivalent towards the Cichlids.
