Compatibility Question!

Alright so I was in my LFS today and found 2 very nice Peacock bass babies. Maybe 2-3 inches long at most. I want to put them in my tank, but I'm not sure How they will do with what is currently in there. Right now i have an Oscar that is probably 5-6 inches long and 2 red bellied Pacus that are probably 5 inches long. They have never been aggressive towards any other fish I've put in there but I'd rather be safe then sorry and ask everyone on here! thank you very much

150, going to be upgrading to a 300ish within the next 1-2 months.

The only thing i would see is if you looked into upgrading again in the future for territorial reasons. They would do fine together for now but once fully mature and grown,they're going to need space from eachother

I would think a 6" oscar would try to eat a 2" pbass.

+1 I've lost a green terror to an Oscar who I thought couldn't eat him

You could put a divider until the pbass get bigger.
