I speak from experience just three months ago. My JD's and Parrots would have been killed (and one of my JD's almost did) if I had not found homes for them within a week. If you want a dead fish on your hands, then just sits back and relax, if not, use local forums to find homes for the other guys.
im just worried about the oscar the devil is too slow to catch the smaller fish
 
If the rd is moving stuff all over the tank, its his territory now ANYTHING in with him is toast and the oscar doesnt stand a chance . mine lived in a 90 gal and would not even tolerate my hand in to clean , i had to net him when i did waterchanges to keep from getting hickeys all over my arm he even drew blood good luck man
 
My 9" Midas (probably a RD mix) gets into a mood and picks out specifically 2 of my Red Hook silver dollars to chase and torment. The other 2 and a regular silver dollar he pretty much leaves alone. I recently added a 2" Jack Dempsey that he also pretty much ignores.

If they dont like something they will torment it and just wear it down.
 
Did you say he went "Physco"? Not much else to add to that.;)
 
It would be terrible to have to devote an entire 150gal. to one fish. I hope that he plays nice with the others. Mine is a real bruiser so he lives alone.

well the oscar got moved and hes ignores the rest of the fish and your right 150 gallons is a lot for one fish he only claimed about half the tank though i wonder if i could try putting something else in there????

yes he was attacking evrything plants the glass but he calmed down now hes just relaxing i guess now that i took the oscar out
 
I don't think this rd is going to accept any other tank mates,a 150g for one fish?,nah,I'd get rid of him and start another project.
