Convicts are territorial, especially in breeding pairs. While Oscars can be imposing and destructive, they are more hungry than they are aggressive. If the Oscar is small, Around the size of the convict, it may be bullied to death. And if the Oscar is full-sized, it will most likely eat the convict.
In short, don’t do it.😅
if they are both put inb4 your Oscar is huge, anything can live with an Oscar, they are mistaken for being aggressive, when usually they are just hungry.
convict cichlids are the most aggressive cichlid there is it will fight with all fish convicts an green terror cichlids are the most aggressive cichlids so i would suggest that you not do that if you are about both fish
It is quite possible that the Convict cichlid would kill a fish as small and slow as a Betta. I would not try to mix other peaceful species with large aggressive fish like Convicts.
Convicts are a semi-aggressive to aggressive south American cichlid, and will do well with other mid sized, aggressive south American cichlids. It may also be ok with some African cichlids, for example Yellow Labs and Electric Blue Johanni.
Jack Dempsey or Tiger Oscar
Convict cichlids can be semi-aggressive and territorial, especially when breeding. They may harass or even kill other fish in the tank, particularly if the tank is too small or if there are not enough hiding spots. It's best to keep them with fish of similar size and aggression levels.
Oscar is a type of fish so he is a Oscar fish
Mine? Its fine thanks. If you do suspect that something is wrong with your convict cichlid, or if you want to learn how to take care of convict cichlids. Be sure to check the article that I posted in the related links. It helped me raise 3 sets of babies that came from 2 convict cichlids. After reading the article, I successfully raised over 100 convict cichlid babies and believe it or not, all of them are still living in the tank. Its quite a site to see that many cichlids swimming together in a fish tank. But be warned - when convict cichlids are breeding, they get very aggressive. Especially toward any other kind of fish.
Cichlids are quite aggressive fish that have been known to consume their fry. Often times the cause of fish hiding is to avoid larger fish. This habit is instinctual and should go away once the fish is approximately 2-3 inches in length.
They are just colour variants of the same species and pretty much equal. Aggression varies between individual fish - some of them are total bullies and others can become quite tame.
Oscar fish can be caught in the canals of Southern Florida.
