So I have 2 baby Oscars nd a Jack Dempsey but the jack stays away from the Oscars like the Oscars are always together but the jack way at the end of the tank is there somethin I can do? Or is just the way it is.
 
Not really much you can do apart keeping the lights off. And how big is you're tank? Both fish are extremely territorial, so anything under 180 gallons is not enough and I would suggest re-homing the oscar or returning it as they will most likely fight at sexual maturity. The JD and Oscar should get along good usually without too many conflicts.
 
Oh well I have a 75 gallon tank
Watch out for territorial attitude. I would say a jd is more aggressive then an oscar, but an oscar is a bit more territorial. Put a lot of caves in there and if necessary a divider:)
