How long should baby fish be separated from adult fish?
It is best to keep them separated for one month. After that month has gone by, compare the frys body size to the mom and dads mouth. If they are big enough you can release them into the aquarium. If not, keep them isolated for another month or so.
Will adult red belly pacu fight adult Oscars?
Actually the Oscar won't fight. I had a red-belled pacu in a tank with an Oscar and I came home one day and the pacu had eaten the Oscar and a kissing fish and a parrot fish. They aren't suppose to eat fish their size but I think mine taps more into the nature of his piranha cousins than most. If you get both just be careful and make sure the Oscar is bigger and dominant. On the contrary every Oscar and every pacu has different personalities. Some will fight some will not. I have an Oscar in a 1500 gallon tank that hates pacu. And I've got a pacu that hates Oscars... So you never know...

Is the silver dollar fish compatible with a baby tiger Oscar?
very much so, best companion Ive found for my oscar, I have 4 in with my tiger oscar, they stay out of his way if he has a tantrum, and he swims with them at times. I removed them once and put them in a different tank, and my oscar got so depressed I had to move them back. Silver dollars do get to a good size, make sure you have room, they are schooling fish so you need 3 or 4+.
