Clean up for Oscar tank

[megoto]

As I have recently moved and had to tare down my tanks I am going to be using my 75g for an Oscar. My question is there any kind of bottom feeder/clean up fish that I can keep with the Oscar. ie: some kind of catfish. The filter is going to a fluval 406. Thanks

I've been really happy with synodotis in the past, but I've heard that Oscar fare better as single tankmates. Try getting a syno that will get big enough that the Oscar won't be able to eat when both are full grown.

I looked at those but not sure if they could live in my tank for life. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I've got a pair of Synodontis Euptera with Mine they are great. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=121

Thanks guys for the input. I'll have to give them another look now. I do like them just didn't think they would be able to live in my tank for life.

For an oscar in a 75 i would say your best bet for a cleanup crew is probably a siphon.

I have had clown loaches in with oscars with zero problems. It seems that most fish leave clowns alone for some reason.

I also suggest clowns if theyre big enough not to get eaten

clowns get too big for a 75
