i just got two 5 inch oscars today from my friend for free and i put them in along with my 5 inch jar....and so far there is no aggression. at first my jar was a little spoked from the two oscars, but now it seems fine. wish me luck:)
 
hope this works for you
and do keep a close watch on the oscars as they can be the idiots who might start something and do pray that they don't breed then its the the jar who might need help
lots of GOOD LUCK to you dude
 
i've tried a veiltail tiger oscar w/ my Jar before..didn't work :( ...GL to you though ;) ...how big is the tank? pics?
 
at this size, i'd be more worried about the oscars messing with the jar. good luck. i was planning on trying an O w/ my jar, too.
 
A chinese restaurant in my neck of the woods has a 8-9 inch jardini in a tank with a foot long midas (with a HUGE nuchal hump) and 2 or 3 oscars (I have only seen it through the window).

THey used to have 2 silvers in there, but they were over 24 inches long, and the tanks a 125, so I guess they moved them or sold them.

Its possible though! GOod luck!
 
i am worried myself about the oscars, and today the oscar struck my jar once. i am watching every close right now. i have no good camera, just a 3x camera phone looks like shiet...but here it is

and the tank is 4x1.5x1.5
