You may need to buy a bigger tank. If it is big enough is there places for the Cichlids to escape to or hide. The way that I got my Cichlids to stop fighting is to overstock the tank. You will need a really good filter, a big one, to handle the load of all of the fish. Ask somebody at a reliable pet store how many fish you should put in to over stock.

I hope that helped :)



PS: don't ask anybody in wall mart's fish
department, they don't know anything.


PSS: If you tried that and they are still a little aggressive you
can try a veggie clip. You can put vegetables on it and they
will eat off of it, ask somebody at the pet store what things you can
put on it.

Freshwater angelfish and Oscar cichlids can be kept together, but compatibility largely depends on the individual fish's temperament and the size of the tank. Oscars are generally more aggressive and territorial, especially as they mature, which can pose a threat to the more peaceful angelfish. A large aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and space can help reduce aggression, but close monitoring is essential to ensure both species can coexist safely. It's often recommended to keep them in separate tanks if aggression arises.
