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.
