Are Oscars and parrot fish safe with my community tank fish?

Question

Sir actually i have made a community tank in which i had red eye tetras, mollies, tiger barbs, gouramis, etc. But my younger brother has put some oscars and king kong red blood parrots in it. Will they be compatible together or do i need to separate them out?

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

As long as thee oscars are small there will be no problem, however they grow very fast and they will eat all your other fish except the gouramis. So yes, you will need a separate tank for them and preferably at least a 40 gallon tank. The same is true for the parrots, another cichlid species.
