I will say yes. I have had Oscars for many years now and I finally have a good breeding pair, they in love, another story. Oscars are aggressive as the other fish you mention. But, there a trick to adding fish you want to live to an Oscar tank. Now, this not always work, but, if the Oscars are well fed they usually OK with company. Always add your other fish to the Tank first then add the Oscars. This how I can keep my Chinese Algae Eater alive. They just think it was there first, as well as a very editable goldfish. I have the goldfish to prove my point to people. Where you may have trouble is actually the other fish ripping the Oscars' fins. But, I have never seen this. I had a Convict fish once with an Oscar and they did well together. The Convict got extras on food when the Oscar would feed. I have many Oscar stories from reviving them when they knock themselves out to finding one on the floor fairly dry and it lived.

I don't know what severums are or what 600 liters is in gallons but it sounds big enough your Oscars will be fine with parrot fish I have a parrot and a Oscar together now and they get along great but you have to remember your parrot will reach a size of about 10 inches and your Oscars from 12 -16 inches so be sure the tank is big enough

The Tiger Oscar requires a large aquarium of at least 70 gallons with a deep sand bottom and a few large rocks. They will dig up plants; so any that are in the tank should be potted with the root surfaces covered with rocks. Using floating plants is a good compromise to this problem. Oscars are hearty eaters and should only be kept with other fish that are of the same size, as they will eat any that are smaller than themselves.

Yes Oscars and parrots are a good combo(I've never owned severums)! As long as the oscar is smaller then them. My oscar would eat anything that fits inside it's mouth including a 6" eel!!!! Oscars are so much fun! Mine like to eat out of my hand!

well i heard that oscars can be aggressive. and thay can grow up to 10 inches long. so it will probably get bigger than your other fish and could possibly eat them. a bunch of aggressive fish living togetgher isnt that great of an idea. but thats just my opion. maybe you shoudl go to your local aquarium ship or petstore where oscars are sold and ask them if it would be a good idea or not. they will be more informative there. good luck =)

cichlids are very agressive
it depends how many you have. if you have more than 4 cichlids, they will probably be too territorial and chase the other ones around.
