Oscars with a Jack Dempsey

[gunk]

Can a single Jack Dempsey cichlid be kept with 2 Oscars and 2 Blood Parrots in a very large tank (180g)?

I would only put blood parrots with another mild cichlid. They are unable to defend themselves due to the fact they can not close their mouths. Severums are supposed to be good tank mates for them and they do great with community fish. Aggressive cichlids would be the end for them.

I don't know about the JD and Oscars.

I get a bigger tank first

Well my problem is I don't want my JD anymore, and the guy who I've given my Oscars and Blood Parrots to before has a 180 gallon tank so he's the first person who comes to mind. I figure that should be enough room for them to each claim territories, but I'm more worried about water parameters and such.

as long as the oscars and JD are peaceful, it will work. I have aggressive fish in my 90g like JD, red devil, convicts, etc. and the bloodparrot doesnt get picked on because my fish are peaceful, the bloodparrot actually dishes out most of the chasing
