How big is the tank?

There could be aggression issues. Make sure the Oscar is the biggest in the tank. Then the GT, then the cons.

should be fine Unless the oscar is biggest enough to eat the cons

Sounds like a decent mix

I have a breeding pair of convicts with my 10" Albino Oscar in a 75g tank and I have no problems.

There are no problems mixing sa and ca cichlids. It's the individual fish, tank size, aggression, etc. that you need to worry about.

 

[slammer]

The mix is fine as long as the Oscar isnt a juvie and you have sufficient tank space. I would want at least 90 gallons for that group of fish.

that sounds fine, just watch out for the cons as they're very aggressive when breeding and might kill tankmates

do you have trouble with the convict babies getting eaten.mine allways dont last no matter what i do.i feel like separating them becouse i feel guilty.
