Are any of these fish compatible with an oscar?

Question

neon tetras
glow light tetras
siamese algae eater
male crown tail beta
cory catfish
snail
ghost shrimp

Answer 1

No, unfortunately none of them are.

Some of them aren't even compatible with each other, actually.The tetras, catfish, snail, and shrimp would be fine in a tank together. Bettas are very unpredictable with other fish. I know people who have them in with fish they absolutely shouldn't be with- but have had fine results, yet on the other hand some people can't even keep them with plain looking tetras. I don't know much about Siamese algae eaters, to be honest, but I do know that many "algae eaters" (Ottocinclus and plecos not included) get aggressive as they get older.

All of these fish are much too small to be kept with oscars. In general, oscars should be kept by themselves in large tanks, but sometimes other large, fast, and/or aggressive fish are kept with them, such as other cichlids.

Answer 2

none of those would be a good tank mate. The only thing I have knowm someone to keep very long without one killing the other is a scum sucker, like someone mentioned in another answer. Another oscar would work also but theres a chance of them fighting, and they will eventually need a very large tank to hold both of them. I was told at a local pet store that a 55 galon is really too small for one oscar, so anymore would be crowded.

Answer 3

Lol, the Oscar will devour that Betta the 2d it receives the prospect. you want to do study properly matched tankmates for Oscars or Bettas, whichever you recommend on preserving. also Bettas can stay in a 10 gallon very very easily, the position as an Oscar needs 75 gallons.

Answer 4

Oscars are very dominant and can grow to about 12" ... they aren't compatible with much but you do have a few options:
- Jack Dempsey's (also make big fish)
- Large pleco's /cats (like shovel nose cats or upside down cats)
- Pacu's (quite tame and look similar to Piranha but again make a big fish and wouldn't be bullied by oscars)

Hope you've got a big tank!!!!!

Hope that helps a bit more

Answer 5

The dorsal fin on the Cories may choke it,but the others will go down just fine. Here's the rule for most large Cichlids,"If it will fit in their mouth,it will fit in their mouths."

Answer 6

Everyone is right . Oscars like to eat small fish. get him a picostmous to help keep his tank clean, I had one jump out of a tank dry out and stick to a piece of cardboard and still live. we think the moisture of the cardboard kept him alive. Sry about the spelling even spell check couldnt help me with picostomous

Everything else if food to them.
