ABOUT A MONTH AGO I PURCHASED A PAIR OF ALBINO OSCAR OF SIZE 3-4 INCH AND DUE TO MY RED DEVILand flowerhorn's AGGRESION I HAD TO PUT IT IN MY HOSPITAL TANK BUT FO A WEEK OR SO MY RD IS NOT AGGRESSIVE SO WHAT TO DO NOW KEEP THE OSCAR IN HOSPITAL TANK OR MOVE IT TO MY MAIN TANK [5'1'1.6']
fh is still aggressive = new home hospital tank
 
oscars are not aggressive fish. Red devils are extremely aggressive fish. If you move the oscar to the main tank now, he will likely be back in the hospital tank pretty soon!

so what do you say should i give it a try
 
I don't think it will work, if you put the O's back the RD or the FH will just kick the tar out of them again, O's are not overly aggressive to start with and are no match for a RD or a FH.
 
I would not recommend housing an oscar and a RD together.I tried now my red tiger is blind in one eye.RD now lives alone.

so what should i do to solve this probelm
Thats up to you, you can get a new tank for the RD or O's or get rid of one or the other, mixing them is out.
I think small tank when I hear hospital tank but if your hospital tank is large I suppose you could keep one or the other in it.
It all really depends on what you like more and how much money and room you have I guess.
