Night and Day, One is expensive other cheap, ............... Oscars are neat but they can get large and some will not get allong with anything. A frontosa is not a fish you want to chance losing to an oscar. They can get along though if they are the same size and normally start out in the tank at the same time.

Convicts are small central American cichlids and frontosa are african rift lake cichlids from lake T.

They have very different natural habitats and really very few similarities other than juvenile appearances.

Convicts are compatible with oscars. Just be thoughtful of tank size and the fish' size during purchase to make sure the Oscar isn't too large. Otherwise it can swallow the convict.

Frontosa don't belong with oscars.
