It kinda sounds like his LFS rep is the idiot in this case. I had a similar
problem but was smart enough to take my questions to the groups. I too
tried to put Oscars and Cichlids in the same tank. The smaller cichlids
tried to make a meal of the slightly larger Oscars. My LFS said they would
be fine together because an Oscar is a Cichlid. Lucky for my Oscars I had a
spare 20 gallon tank already set up (had just moved piranhas from it to a
55). So now my son has the Cichlids in his room and the Oscars have since
been moved to a 75 gallon tank. In a couple months they will graduate to
the new 125 I am buying and the Piranhas will get the 75. If I'd have taken
the advice of my LFS I'd probably have just two Piranhas left. But thanks
to the groups I have two Piranhas, three Oscars and 10 African Cichlids.
