Eventually your Red Devil will either need to go or will kill off the other fish. The chances of finding a docile Red Devil are very rare. I'd suggest either a Jag or RTM for tank mates though.

honestly my red devil is very peacful atleast so far he is. he doesnt like the flower horn so im getting rid of it and my oscar is 11+ inches so i dont think the red devil will get too agressive.

a mid sized jack dempsey pair would easily hold their own, and i have 6 convicts with one of my Rbp the cons are about 1.5" and bully the piranha.
you could always ask the people at your lfs.

Just remember, they don't get the Devil moniker for nothing. Eventually aggression WILL become a problem with your Red Devil and regardless of how big your Oscar is, when your Red Devil snaps... it wont stop until anything in that tank is dead. I've seen many threads on here about them, and I can't really think of one that was a peaceful fish.

well i think my oscar is agressive enough for the red devil because all it does is hide when it sees my oscar plus ima probably end up putting a red terror and parachromis friedrichsthalii in there to spread out the agression. im stilll not too sure tho?? any more suggestions?

if you don't like JDs or Jags... you could do a severum, firemouths, texas, or convicts. Just to give you some ideas of fish that should be readily available.
