Is it possible to mix these or will i give my oscars a nice snack ....


The most predominant variables are the ages of the fish, quantities and
the size of the tank (not indicated).

Starting with all juveniles, and growing them together in a small tank
may be disadvantageous to the Oscar (Tigers are a gregarious bunch). The
bigger the tank and the greater the quantity of Tiger barbs, the less
likely this will be a problem.

Starting with adult Tiger barbs and a juvenile Oscar will give similar
results as above, but worse.

Starting with Oscars in an established tank, and adding Tigers would be
risky for the Tigers. The bigger the Oscar, the worse this gets.

All in all, probably not a good idea, as there's a fairly narrow 'comfort
band' for these fish to co-exist in. Not impossible, but probably not
practical either.
