First thing- the pacu might ACCIDENTLY kill your oscars. Pacus are in an essence.. big dumb fish, that are all muscle. If he turns and accidently knocks your oscar he can kill him. I had a 6" pacu kill my ROYAL pleco... (GRRRR) by accident. Second.. dude they break tanks when they get big. So get a big big tank. They can be really cool. Have ALOT of algae pellets on hand.. mine love thoes.
I have 2 RBs in a 75 gallon tank with an Oscar. They are all about 5" and are are going to go into a 265 after the summer by themselves. After that i may even put them in a larger tank but ill see how they do before i consider that. As for the Pacu killing your oscars... the only way i could see that happening is if the RB is ALOT bigger than the Oscars.
Sometimes my Pacus will do what i call the "death scare". Theyll dart around the tank hitting other fish, plants, the heater and sometimes even lifts the 10 lb. hood on the tank
! When they do this sometimes my Oscar goes all pale and then goes to the bottom of the tank as if hes 'dying', but usually five minutes later he'll pop back up begging for more food. So as for the Pacu beatin' up on the Oscars i dont exactly see that happening unless they are much bigger.
