Oscars and cichlids?

[Diego21]

Will oscars do well with lake Malawi cichlids? Yellow labs, red zebra and blue cobalts?

Haven't kept them together myself but I very much doubt it.Oscars get huge.Up to 14" and I think the problem would be that the malawis would fit in the Oscars mouth so therefore the Oscar would eat them.

Yea I don't think I'd try that even if it was an african that gets 10"+.

I have a female jack with my Africans. She gets along with all of them except the jewel for some reason. She totally hates that dude. I don't think I'd put an Oscar in there though.

Maybe is because the Jewel and Dempsey look a bit similar?

I've seen it done with 2 oscars and jewels, and one big jag.
