Apologies to Hairdog about your pic, i know youve already cleared up about the pirahnas being out of your pic. Everyone is too eager to say want they what to say that they are not reading the posts properly.
 
thanks to all who have offered their opinions any more will be appreciated
 
i had a rbp with one tiger oscar along with a blue gill & black crappie once. they all were fine. the bream was aggressive as usual. the oscar was healthy, the rbp was the healthiest with the crappie's fins constantly missing. u figure it out. i dont see why not.
 
Post Pics of your Oscars and/or Pirahnas here, both together IP
 
I think the only time that would work is if you had a huge tank like that. Maybe 1000 gallons and up. Then you could have a small school of lot of diffrent fish. And tons of driftwood and plants to break up the line of sight, and well they would act like they would in nature. But as with keeping any aggressive fish together there is always the chance that someones going to get hurt. But that is a tank that would be awsome to have!
 
I'd have to disagree, its too late for me now to put my Oscars in with my piranhas as they have all ready grown and i have taken one Oscar back to a shop to help bring the nitrate down. I believe this would work if the Oscars and Piranhas Grew up together and were kept well fed.
