Answer
Hi Lynn

2 full grown Oscars, 5 Convicts and a Redtail Shark together will need at least a 75 gallon tank. But a 90 gallon or larger would be preferred.

I have 2 Oscars, 1 Convict, 1 Firemouth, 1 Green Severum, 1 Redtail Shark and a Pleco in a 90 gallon tank without any problems. And yes you are correct, the full grown Redtail Shark can hold his own against Cichlids.

I hope this helps you, good luck!
