Holy run-on sentence, Batman! From what I can understand, you're best bet is to move the Black Ghost Knife into the Cichlid tank.
How big is the oscar tank? And I agree, BGK with the oscars or ABK with the small fish in the 3rd tank.
ive seen bgk and oscars work in the same tank before personally
I don't think africans have the temperament and size to deal with an oscar.

Sorry about my grammar. I was in a rush! Well I put the BGK in with the oscars and he is hiding. I will see how he does tommorrow. It will probably take him a while to get acclimated. I can't imagine that african knife would be ok with those smaller fish in the third tank. guppies, tetras corys bichir mollies platy? anybody else think so? It chases the barbs around mercifully in the big tank right now! I am hoping he will eat them!

The ABK should be fine with the Bichir, but even the Bichir will end up eating the Guppies and Tetras and eventually, the Mollies and Platys. The Cories might be safe because of their sharp spines, but the may also become a choking hazard and you'll lose the eater and the eaten.
