Definetly keep Oscars and African Ciclids in separate aquariums..The majority of Oscars are gentle giants.They just like to eat live food..On the other hand,80% of African ciclids are outright nasty,territorial, and aggressive..They dont call them Malawian eye biters for nothing..They will punk your Oscars little by little and eventually kill them with stress..Also,the PH requirments of the two species are much different..Africans must be kept in alkaline water to survive(8.0 to 9.0PH)..Oscars do best in neutral to slightly acidid water(6.5 to 7.0PH)although they can survive in slightly higher PH also..
