many people keep cons with oscars, generally cons are well behaved unless breeding.
Yes a con could take down an adult oscar but since the tank is big enough, they'll be alright.
 
thanks for the replies any cichlids you could recommend to go in the tank with them sanke007 would like some colourful ones?

When you say a few convicts how many is that? What about a Texas? Might get along okay but could be hit and miss, could be too aggressive. Electric Blue Jack Dempsey would be okay IMO - Its just the Convicts that are worrying me as they can really be a problem and its like if you have 2 a male and a female in water your going to get breeding convicts and though its a big tank its not 100% that the cons wont take something out.

Also what genders are the Oscars? A breeding pair of Oscars is not much fun either.

A male con has a more longer anal fin and longer flowing fin, the females are more rounded with an orange belly and their anal fin is more rounded.
