An Oscar is of the cichlid family, the piranha belongs to the characin branch. Otherwise known to freshwater aquarium owners as the bothersome "fin-nippers" which is what characins are known for, along with the skittish hyper behavior.

Oscars and piranha are not compatible and should not be placed together in an aquarium. Piranha are compatible with such species as silver sharks and glass catfish. Oscars are compatible with Blue dolphin, Zebra cichlid and ram fish.
