Oscars are very social. What you described is very common behaviour. Don't assume you have a pair until you have eggs. They are extremely hard to sex, even venting is unsuccessful.

Anyway, if you find eggs, I'm wrong!

Oh ok I didnt realise how hard they were to sex,ive also been told they might get along well together now but once they reach a certain size they can turn on each other very suddenly unless there a pair?
