Cichlids are fish from the family Cichlidae in the order Perciformes. Cichlids have higly organized breeding activites. All species show some form of parental care for both eggs and larvae, often nurturing free swimming young until they are weeks or months old.

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.
