My Oscar seems to think that hes the king of the tank (which he is) but he keeps on nipping at my SD's even though they are fast enough to get away but im wondering if there is anything i can do? or should I just wait it out? THANKS!

that's just the nature of cichlids. what u can do is providing hiding places and enough space in the tank.
if you have a spare tank even a small one, keep your O in it for a day and redecorate the tank and put him back in. untill your O get used to the newly decorated tank, he wil be less aggressive.

btw whats a SD?

secondly.. oscars are very territorial and if your tank is small or it.. then it will surely try to tell the other fishes in it.. "this is my house.. not yours"

I suggest in a bigger environment the Oscar would be fine... else you might need partitions..

Warlock an SD is a Silver Dollar.

And I agree, how big is your tank? How big is your Oscar?

IMO an oscar and a bunch of silver dollars are gonna be cramped in a 60Gl given time and growth.
I have 6 SD's and 2 Oscars in a 180Gl and the SD's can allways outrun any oscar attack because of the bigger territory.
