    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.

    Anymore suggestions?

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