Provided that the tank was large enough yes. These are both huge fish and require vast swimming spaces to thrive. If kept together, a minimum of 125gals, and thats just for the 2 with maybe a cat or 2 tossed in for cleanup.

They live in the same environement in the wild in South America, oscars will get territorial though if the tank hasn't sufficient space.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
