Good Dither Fish with an Oscar in the Tank?

[Ann Hall]

Any good ideas for Dither Fish? It's a 300 g tank. I have a couple of oscars, severums, uraus, a parrot fish, royal blue jack demsey. Oscars are tiny now, but would like fish that are big enough not to get eaten when the Oscar and Jack Demsey grow. Thanks.

I was thinking about Rosey Barbs, but concerned about tank temperature. Mine's at 80 degrees.

Silver dollars. Some stay smaller around 5" while other get much larger.

Pink tailed chalceus are attractive, stay near the surface and grow too big to be eaten.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Thought they got too big.

Metynnis lippincotianus are one of the smaller silver dollars.
Commonly known as the spotted dollar.

Odessa barbs, get a large shoal and they look amazing and are quite aggressive so will be able to hold off any hostility.

rainbow fish school really well I've used turquoise and Australians with great success, also giant danios, and roseline/denisonii barbs
