how agressive is your oscar? probably not unless you give it enough places to hide

wrong section but as a general rule, most fish will eat any small fish they can fit in thier mouth. however, you could get away with this with a good set up. planted tank or lots of hiding places

You're forgetting the oscar is involved here therefore a planted tank is not possible, not unless this oscar already knows not to tear off the plants.

Keller, if you can add several driftwoods, it will certainly work. Luckily, raphael catfish are far too sedentary so your oscar may not really bother it at all. In my experience, this catfish seems to be more active at night.
