Oscars are aggressive in a "get out of my way" aggressive not "I want you dead just because" aggressive. I would think the frontosa would be more aggressive.

Oscars are South American, Fronts are African.

1 is soft water, low pH, the other is hard water, high pH.

Hence, both completely incompatible.

And thats before we move onto diet and landscaping.

These fish should never be kept together, no excuses.

Sorry mate.
 
fronts also like to be in 'colonies' with other fronts and are much slower growers than oscars. Your front will probably hide all the time...
