Reeally I've kept 3 inch temensis and grew them out a little bit in a 100 gallon with a pair of oscars about that size they made those oscars look clumsy and sluggish and from my experience peacocks are far more aware of their surroundings than any other fish I've owned with speed and precision I would worry more about the oscar being dive bombed unless kelberi's are way different than temensis which I really doubt

You think that until you have rare and expensive bass get eaten by $10 fish haha I've had Xingu Brokos and Pinima all I thought " they'll be ok" and they became lunch. Just not worth the risk IMO

So were the factors in your situation the same as this 8 inch oscar 5 inch peacock and 110 gallons seems to me to say its not worth the risk would be unnecessary for these factors seems to me that an oscar would look at you like you lost your mind to even bringing home a 5 inch long comet feeder now on the other hand if the one that was 8 inches was the kelberi and the one entering the tank was a 5inch long oscar the kelberi would be like oh yeah get in my belly but oscars just aren't ambitious enough to take on lunch more than half their length every oscar that I've owned tends to ignore tank mates but pick on eachother I've had bigger oscars get killed by smaller tank mates

Not exact the same no, but doesn't matter if he can eat it or not. If the Oscar sees it as a threat and it is aggressive as he says, he may kill it. So why risk it?

"Not exact the same no" the reason is because an oscar has to out wit a peacock in a 110 gallons to even beat on it a little and for that to happen is extremely slim thinking of how much room there is for two fish 110 long stretches what 6 foot or so even with 3 inches and a aggressive attitude the peacock still is 3x more aggressive 3x more agile 3x more aware and has 3x more drive than the oscar how many oscars have been responsible for a loss in your tanks cause out of 8 I've owned in the past none have been killers use your head man your telling this guy to be cautious cause of your past mishap under different circumstances

May be a crazy idea but take the Oscar outand put him in a bucket. Then rearrangs and evn add something then out the 2 in together. Oscars seem to like like a friend and your may hang out so to speak with the Bass.
I know an Oscar can't really hang out with a fast fish but it will give him some company. This idea may be worth a try.
