will a 6'' albino oscar attack a smaller sized oscar or is there a possibility that they can get along... just wondering... my albino is very peacefull with other fish

yes it will attack but if you get more oscars he might leave him alone. what size tank is it?

recently in my cousins 120 gal but he wants another oscar
 
It depends how much smaller. If the other is like 5" then there shouldn't be too much competiotion, but if it's like 3", thats another story.
 
I think that you would be fine. As long as it is big enough not to be eaten. Oscars really aren't very aggressive.
 
If it can't fit in its mouth, it should be fine.

I'd suggest moving some stuff around the tank first though just to get rid of any territories.
 
Hi,if there isnt a big size difference between the two try putting them together but watch out,but if the size difference is notable DONT PUT them together, the smaller of the two will be bullied or even killed.
 
I wouldn't go and throw another oscar into the mix. Maybe put some silver dollars into the tank to distract the larger o and give the smaller one some down time. Whats the size difference between them?

Some schooling fish can help take the pressure off the little guy
