Hello, i just acquired a 12inch tiger oscar and put him in my 120 gallon tank with my 4 inch ZZ flowerhorn and a 4inch texas cichlid, the fish are big enough not to get eaten , but when the texas and the flowerhorn are full grown will they get along with the oscar? for now the oscar is getting used to the tank and the other 2 are just kind of staying out of his way lol
 
Doubtful this combo would work long term. The oscar would get brutalized.

I've had my oscar and green severum together in my 75g since they were tiny babies. It's been just over 3yrs. They bicker and shove each other around at times, but I've gotten lucky that it works. I feed lightly (Hikari bio gold + being the main food) and keep the water temp on the cool side (76-78F). My nitrate creep is at ~20ppm between weekly fin-level water changes.
 
Yeah I agree, I've never been able to keep flowerhorns with anything.
