Well a lot if the things you are saying are noobish comments. And you are being rude to some members on this thread...

Btw I hope you decided to get rid of the angels

If you have a tank the angels could go in and you can set it up really nice and you can get the oscars better tankmates that are just as nice looking as angels why be stubborn? There are ways to lower aggression... If this was oscars green terrors and jacks in this tank then aggression lowering techniques will help because everyone is of equal temperment. But thats like and oscar in a guppy tank and asking how to make him stop eating them its just not going to happen. Even if it worked somewhere else it just so happens that oscar was placid and nice but urs arent. Adding more oscars will just equal to the dominant one snapping one day and killing the others except for a mate. And its hard enough to house one oscar why would u want 3 or 4? Dithers wont help you if ur oscars are aggressive they will kill them. Lowering temps wont help because they are already locked on to their targets. Just split the oscars and angels and build the tanks around them with compatible tank mates.

Jack Dempsey and Green Terror are much more suitable tankmates for an oscar. They have enough size and usually enough attitude to be able to hold their own (they are often actually more aggressive than Oscars). But you will still have to keep an eye on them to make sure they get along ok. Sometimes these guys just don't like one another and it doesn't work out.

I currently have a Texas Cichlid, Albino Oscar, Jack Dempsey and Green Terror. The pecking order is the order that I listed them. My tank is 770G though, so they have plenty of space. They are still sub-adults, so I'm keeping a close eye on them to make sure nothing gets out of hand.

Just a suggestion...have you thought about going with a showpiece cichlid (like one oscar) and building around him? You could get a nice group of Filament Barbs (6 or 7- they are awesome looking fish as adults) a Pink Tail chalceus for the top level of the tank and a 4-line catfish for the bottom. Your arowana will outgrow that 210G within 1.5 years, so you might want to get rid of him if you aren't planning on upgrading your setup.

Good luck!
 
Ive had oscars forever and ive had them with green terrors, jacks, texas, catfish like pims, tinfoil barbs. You also best results raising all these fish together from same size.
