I got a spotted pictus today with a baby oscar, the cat is already 4 inches or a little bigger. will i be able to keep these 2 together in my 55 gallon tank? The oscar doesnt seem to mind the cat he stays on one side and the cat is staying on the left side which i see is normal for now but i am curious if these two will be ok. I have read several threads that say they can live together and i seen a few that say no so any advice would be appreciated.

The oscar will eventually outgrow the pictus and might consider it food.

Anyways, pictus are ideally kept in a small group (meaning you ned to get more than one).

Pictus :thumbsup: Pretty cat! They have a group of them at my local fish store and in groups you get to see really interesting behaviour, sociable little guys. Maybe if you let the store know you'd like more they can get them in? I never see them where I live for under a small fortune :(
Post a picture if you get a chance and welcome.
