I'm buying a 150g tank soon and I plan to put 2 Oscars in it, Now, Obviously I can't put something like a redtail in there but what are some smaller (but large) catfish I could put in with the O's? By the way, I only want to put 1 LARGE cat in the tank

L014 Scobiancistrus. Grow to just over a foot and are stunning. Expensive and rare though.

L200 Green phantoms. ( my fav ) slow growing but get to around the 8" mark.

Sorry.

Eclipse catfish. I have three at the moment and they are big bruisers.
The biggest one I have is about 9".

There is a guy on www.irishfishforum.com selling a Synodontis Angelicus
catfish. Stunning fish and I don`t think he is looking for much for it.

Most of the syndontis catfish would be the best bet, most of them grow quite large so would be okay with oscars.
