what type of cleaning fish can i get with my oscar???

A big plec is about it, but you'll want to buy it big alread since they grow much slower then Oscars, and if an Oscar tries to eat a plec it will cause problems for everyone involved. A plec may take care of some algae but will contribute considerably to the waste, so it also depends on what you mean by 'cleaner fish'.

Really depends on the size of the tank, if you have a larger tnak go for a common pleco.

ive got a 4ft tank
how about sucking catfish ?
can i get another oscar or will they kill each other?

I'd say a 6' tank would be good for 2 oscars, in a 4' fighting would probably breakout, and the water would be filthy

Cory cats are quick and clean the bottom of uneaten food. Just provide them a cave for the daytime.

cory cats = lunch. Actually, more of a bite-size snack really.

Ive got Striped Raphael Cats with my oscar.... they seem 2 get on ok after a couple of teething problems @ the start... ie, oscar trying to drag the cats around by their fins. My oscar found them a lil too spikey for his liking in the end. Now they all get on great. Whilst my Oscar is in his usual night time trance the cats get to work on their cleaning! Works for me!!!!!!
Only thing is... re-arrange the tank if you put cats in then the oscar doesn't feel the cats are intruding on his territory!
Happy cat hunting!

Im putting striped Raphs with my Oscar soon aswell. Common plecs work well, and my Khulis are wayyy to sneaky for my silly Oscar.
