Oscars an plecs(non-discus related)

[cody]

I would like to know how common are sailfin plecsL083 are in australia particuarly in victoria an how well they go with oscars an the same questions again agout the pin striped royal plecs I plan to have two tiger oscars an two plecs in my new 120 gallon tank(4*2*2)I have pretty good filtration with a 1200l\h xternal filter and a 1000l\h xternal filter i also wondered about the growth rate of plecs and what sort of water flow do oscars like im not sure if two plecs might be two much any help on these fish would be appreciated

Both Plecs and Oscars grow very big. So waste might be an issue you would have to keep your water changes regular. I don't think they would be a problem living together. I have oscars with a Synodontis Eupturis Catfish and they live together fine. Sometimes the catfish tells them to nick off but the oscar pretty much leave him to his own devices. They dont tend to hang around the bottom of the tank that much.. I think they would be fine just keep in mind how large both of these fish grow...
