Question
I just finish cycling my new 60 gallon cube fish tank with a drift wood and some plants on it. Can i keep two oscars and one dinosaur bichir together? And if i can, what should i feed both of them? Thank you!!! :)

Answer
Well, really it depends on the sizes of each of them. Both are aggressive and will eat what ever will fit in their mouth, although, the oscars will eventually become a bully and will probably kill the dinosaur eel. I think you may get away with it for a while if the oscar is a descent size but not big enough to eat what ever size eel you get. Vise versa. I hope this helps. Good luck. Keep me posted.
