Hi.Due to a loss of space for one of my tanks I have a question.I have a 65 gal. with a tiger oscar who is fairly aggressive(10")
In another tank I have a pair of 4" blue acara's.
The third tank has a 3 1/2" Jack Dempsey.
My question is of the acara's and the Dempsey,which of these fish is most likely to get along o.k. in my oscar's tank?
Any comment's or suggestion's would be great!
Thank's in advance
Eric

In a 3 ft. long 65 gal. tank the oscar is the only cichlid that tank can handle and even that's pushing it.

Predator is right. If you plan on seriously upgrading the size of the Oscar tank, your JD will likely hold his own, but I would wait until he gets bigger and the Oscar gets much more swimming room.

yea, although, you could, if the tank is big enough, put the pair of aracaras in with the JD.
