Can you keep 2 Oscar in a 135 gallon tank with some different fish in the tank ant the weaker one be OK?

It all depends on how much other fish you have in the tank. Oscars need a lot of room so if there's tons of other fish in there it could cause problems. But if you have a couple it would be fine. If its a male Oscar its probably best you don't have them in a tank with any other Oscars. I volunteer at a pet store where they sell the fish so that's how I know this..

Shall you keep all Oscar fish in one tank?

If the tank is large enough. For rearing young Oscars a 50 gallon tank is about right for 5 fish.
