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.

Can your African chiclids live with your gourami?
99% of the African cichlids are very aggressive fish and will more than likely cause the untimely death of anyother type of fish (and usually same type) that you place within the confine of your aquarium. Also, one should note that PH levels differ between the two. While you can acclimate up and down with fish (Most African cichlids locally are kept PH 7.0 instead of recommended PH 8.2) not all will take the change in stride.
Can a African cichlids fish live in salt water?
Most African cichlids are from the Rift Lakes in the Great Rift Valley, and they require very specific water chemistry. Although their water contains some salt (sodium chloride) it also contains other salts of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium. Rather than being salt water, it is very hard water. So to answer the question - no, African cichlids can't live in the kind of salt water that is used in marine aquariums. However, most of them (with a few exceptions, such as the hardy kribensis) can't live in true freshwater either. They need water that matches the chemistry of the Rift Lakes, which is unlike any other body of water on Earth.
