u need a bigger tank.
what you are trying to do, is add as many large cichlids in a small tank. i promise u that these fish will fight like no tomorrow.
Jack dempsey, green terrors, and red devils are very aggressive. i own all three of these speices and they all have different tanks.
Oscars and firemouths will get bullied as they arent that aggressive.
but the oscars will need a 100 + gallon for two of them.
trust me, you are asking for trouble by stocking alot of fish and aggressive fishes in a small tank.
please listen, i know from experinece it wont work, so save your money.
if you have any other fish questions please go to..

dont get to many things in the tank all the fish you want to get will just knock them over so flat slate rocks and drift wood would be fine. I had oscars and they knocked rocks over moved them and pulled the fake trees in the tank and ended up floating in the tank oh ya thats to many fish for that size tank oscars dempseys and green terrors will get big you should have like a 125gal tank for them fish and they will all fight for the territory in the tank

Your tank is not big enough for the fish you have. Oscars need a lot of room!
