they are usually peaceful, but some males can be terrors depends on individual and they often attack their females, they attack by body slaming into fish at speed rather than ripping into them , so is fine with fish that can hold their own but aren't too overly aggressive. They are often kept with peacocks, haps, frontosa,and other medium to large peaceful cichlids. Should be fine with an oscar , quite often you have to try it and see. Mine is ok with most of these fish, the only fish he didn,t like was a large dolphin and every now and then he goes on the rampage and trys to beat up his female.
Make sure there are plenty of hiding places and the tank is big enough 5-6 footer.
hope this helps, they are rare beautiful fish with loads of character well worth getting if you have the chance
they don't look much as juvies but grow to this
