Can I keep an oscar with 8 Angelfish in a 180 gallon tank? I am in the process of revamping my tank and when all is set and done I would like to add one. They have a baby albino tiger oscar for sale at the LFS for $10.
 
yes it can work as long as the oscar is small and grows to live with them but watch when he gets big cuz they are like pitbulls they can turn at any second,. ive kept them with angles and been fine for many years
 
I will try it then, because my angels are fully grown and this oscar is a baby. If it goes after the angels, I will move it to my 125 gallon.
 
yeah as long as he is a baby and the angels are grown then it shouldnt be a problem since angels have such high bodies they look bigger than they actually are to the O lol GOOD LUCK Os are great fish
 
i've kept oscars with angels and mine was completely fine with it - he never attacked any of my angels but i had them all from 1" in the same tank and when he got big the angels were too fast for him anyway :D but just make sure that if you do put any angels in you can afford to lose them because oscars can be unpredictable
