A 78G tank would be good for the oscars. I don't know if the blood parrot + fire mouth all are compatible with Oscar .

Most definitely not compatible and 2 oscars alone need at least 125 gal.

2 oscars In a 125 alone should work. If you have two males, that might go bad though.

Or you could sell 1 Oscar and keep the remaining one with a firemouth and some dithers. Maybe another small cichlid too, if you choose wisely.

I'd forget about the blood parrot altogether with oscars. They are pretty weak and normally don't compete well for food with a food hog like an Oscar.

I've got 2 males I think and they've grown up together and I've never had an issue with them

How sure are you they are both male? There's really no easy way to tell that I am aware of. Most people sex them when they breed.

I've had them over 5 years and have heard the females will lay even without males but Idk if that's true

Have seen BPs with oscars in so many places. Bt if they r weak den I'll not choose bt r they compatiable with severum,convicts and spotted scat?

Severums are a good choice with a blood parrot. Chocolate cichlids and festivums would also be good.
