I currently have a problem on my hands, i have a 150 gallon aquarium which is overcrowded heavily at the moment, as my 6 foot aquarium broke.
the aquarium currently has
three oscars
one texas cichlid
three parrots cichlids as well
and one African cichlid i think
One of my Oscar is being bullied continuously by all other fish in the aquarium including the oscars. The oscar is always hiding in a corner and doesnt seem to move very much. it does eat food but is there any way in which i can save it?

Try and get a divider if you can quickly, otherwise try moving all ornaments etc to reset territiories; creates a blank slate for everyone. Then you could try throwing in a tonne of plants to create sight breaks. If all else fails, he'll have to be removed.
 
If the oscar is getting singled out with that many cichlids in the tank, then the best thing to do is separate the oscar.
 
Well guys now the Oscar is back in the group.
Two of the Oscars were matting, so that maybe a reason why it got singled out. Anyway now everything is fine thank you
