Not sure if that would be a good idea. Angelfish are quite delicate and we all know Oscars can be bullish at times. You might find that their fins get damaged quite easily.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

it will be chaotic for the angels. better do it from
the start to avoid being treated as intruders.

i didnt think for a second that angels would be able to survive with oscars until i heard paul mention that awhile ago. i'd give it a shot, but be sure to get the smallest o possible or wait till the angles grow. you wont have to worry bout the angels harming the os

in my case, i started them at 2 oscars x 1.5 inches;
2 pangasius x 2 inches long, 1 angel fish 1.5 body wide.

today (23 months old) oscar 2 x 15 inches long; pangasius
2 x 19 inches long; angels fish 5 inches body wide. i had
just re-separated the pangasius and angel fish two days ago
in their new tank.

I added 2 Angelfish (young adult pair, likely 10 months old)and 17 Silver Dollars (sub-adults) to my Oscars-Convicts-Kenyi tank (had to remove the Heros Severum pair after the Oscars went badly after them).

I saw the opportunity of trying this, after a massive water change in which I moved almost everything out of that tank as I went after Convicts and Kenyi juveniles that were born there (got around 50 out, at least six eluded the raid).

So far it has work quite well. I was encouraged to do so after Paul reported his success with Angelfish and Oscars in this forum.

congratulations!
you will love watching them swimming with the oscars.
two things you have to remeber:
1) you need to give them small bit of foods unlike with oscar
2) you now have effective birth control with the oscars. angels will take care of all the forthcoming eggs of your oscar.
