you can put them with other fish, but it might be better to kept them with themselfes or fish of eqaul size.

I don't thnk your ever got the answer about wether it was possible to keep convicts with Oscars, which it is.

Keep in mind that oscars grows fast when you think about what to keep it with. If its 2 inch now it might very well be 6 inch in six months and than it easily eat many of the fish you mentioned.

I know poeple that keep larger Koi with Oscars successfully but I agree with Rollie and wouldn't recommend it.

the crappy 9 convicts dont even go near the koi they just fight each other while the koi is swimming pass. its like the koi doesnt even notice the convicts and for the convicts vice versa so yer ill probs keep the convicts with the koi and might add oscars. wen i go near to take a look the bloody only fish you can see is the koi because all the convicts ran away to hide.
