Ok you win. I missed the part about the Betta. I have been doing research
for about a year and have collected a small library of marine books but I
have never seen a book or post that tells me that I can't keep Oscars (a
Cichlid) with African Cichlids so I went on what my LFS told me. I won't
make that mistake again. BTW I like you comment at the end of your post. I
think I'll see if I can't find a situation in which to use it today... :-)
