One of my friends recently need to rehome his Oscar, because he is moving. Unfortunately, I was the only person that was willing to take it in since he didn’t want to give it to a store. He’s not too big so I have him in my 75, but I’m wondering would he be able to go in with my African cichlids until I can get him a better tank? For reference the Africans are in a 125.

how big is he? As long as the Oscar isn’t fully grown, a 75g is just fine. I wouldn’t keep him with the Africans since they have a different water type than what Oscar’s want. People keep Oscars solo in 55s, not saying that is suitable, but it’s possible. So don’t be too worried about the 75, and if so, I wouldn’t keep recommend it going in the 125g, but I have no experience with African cichlids
I think it’s a little weird that people are citing that they have different water parameters when most likely your 75 and 125 have very similar parameters. I wouldn’t mix them with Africans mainly because I believe in keeping fish from the same locations, not because it couldn’t work. I just think it’s tacky and personally wouldn’t enjoy it.
