Can you grow an Oscar with a huge goldfish with a blood parrot fish and 3 checkered cichlids in a 24 inch by 12 inch tank?

Sadly, no. Oscars need at least 55 gallons, but some say that an oscar needs a 75 gallon minimum. Oscars grow up to 12 inches in length, so you can understand how the measurements of your tank would be too small. Also, a goldfish needs a 55 gallon minimum. The cichlids will be aggressive, and unless your fish are about the same size as your oscar, you are going to be having a lot of fights. Also, the oscars and gold fish produce tons of waste and may kill the other fish with the extra ammonia in the water.

How can i get my African cichlids to stop fighting i have 4 African cichlids and a albino tiger Oscar and the Oscar is the one being hurt?
You should NEVER try to mix African Cichlids with Amazonian Cichlids. It simply can not work. If your tank is set up properly for Africans your water conditions will be slowly killing the Oscar. Please for the Oscars sake get it out of there and in future do some homework/research before mixing species together.

What are Oscar tankmates?
It all depends on the Oscar. You've got about a 50% chance of Jack dempseys working, sometimes Convict cichlids will work. But still, my Oscar is happy by himself. I've heard of plecos and other large catfish. NOTHING THAT WILL FIT IN THE OSCAR'S MOUTH, AS IT WILL BE EATEN.
What is an Oscar you know it has something to do with goldfish but what is it?
Answer:An Oscar is a type of Cichlid- not a goldfish- many people enjoy having Oscars as pets and some people say they are just as friendly and make just as good a family pet as a dog or cat. Oscars are very aggressive and many people enjoy watching them eat live feeder goldfish- however goldfish do not contain the necessary nutrients needed to keep the Oscar happy and healthy.
