Can You Mix Oscars and African Cichlids?

[Jrob]

my buddy has done it for several years with no problems now...

The africans will probally end up killing or stressing out the oscars (good way to bring on an ich outbreak). I would not mix them at all.

I've been in the hobby for a few years. I've just purchased two albino African cichlids, one jack Dempsey and a convict n the same tank. My question is what do I feed the African cichlids, Dempsey & convict. I purchase gold Tsu is that ok??

Start a thread you replying in a 4 yr old thread.

Quality pellets like nls or omega one should be the staple

another promblem oscars are carnivores and most mbuna which sounds like what you have are herbivores. Also any of the zebras are pretty darn nasty at will not think twice about attacking slow moving oscars.
