Would a Red-Tail-Shark and a Parrot Fish do well with oscars?

are mean to other fish.

i have had a parrot with a oscar and she layed eggs lol its a bad idea and they cause huge fights and beat up my oscar. the red tail shark is too small and will fit in the oscars mouth.

i would suggest maybe a green terror or a jack dempsey. Both colorful, if males! A firemouth is a nice choice, they dont get too big but can hold their own!

u could have a red tailed shark but would have to buy an adult one because as mentioned a baby would be eaten within seconds!

i suggest a jack dempsey or gold/green severum...there yr best bet m8

can flower horns and oscars stay together if they are introduced at an early age?

I have 2 seperate tanks. One houses 2 oscars and the other houses a flower horn... all 3 fishes are around 4 months old. Can they stay together?

negative... you will end up with flowerhorn alone...

x2, colourfull enough!

i have an 8inch tiger O with a 5inch Jack D and they get along ok. My tiger Oscar is substantially bigger than my Jack dempsey which is long and slender, and the JD pushes and nips at the TO. My TO just turns around and checks the JD when he/she has enough.

I believe that you have the best chance to have two fish get along if introduced at a young age, but it is still not guranteed. But on the flip side, every fish has their own personality and its possible to have for example a RD and an O together, but only if personlity permits.

YOu have trial and error with any agressive cichlid, and you wont know until you try it out! Most say Oscars are big old punks but I have seen a few in my day that can handle even an RD if provoked. Os have so much strength that they barely use to their advantage!
