Oscar with African cichlids?

[hotsauce]

OK, daughters tank with her Oscar at her moms got broken by idiot brothers while fighting. Put it in with her cichlids here at my house? Not buying new tank for her moms again. Its in a 10gal I had extra for now. Healing back up. What about after this?

Depending on how big the cichlids are to the oscar, you are going to see the oscar swim around looking at the cichlids and either a, eating them whole b, fighting the cichlids c, on rare occasions they will all do great together

Very true!

What kind of oscar does she have? There's a good chance the oscar will outgrow that tank quickly...

No matter what oscar it will out grow the tank lol.. You could grow it and eat it. Or might need to get a new tank because that is going to get to big and In my opinion, I wouldn't put it with the africans.

I had africans with my oscars. They weren't very big compared to the 8 inch oscar. Never had any issues. However, i wouldnt recommend it. My housing was temporary and for the month it was this way the africans wernt in any serious danger of being food. They were big enough were the oscars wernt tempted. Id just buy a new tank or give the oscar to someone who can house it.
