I dont know If I should Do One Oscar, Jack Dempsey, Jade Eyed and A channel Catfish in a 110 gallon tank. I also want to do An Oscar,Pumpkinseed, and a Jade Eyed Cichlid. I think thesea re good tankmates, but i need your help.

Either one can work at least for the short term. The only problems I can see are that both the pumpkinseed and channel catfish do better in cooler water than the Oscar or Jack, but they can handle the same temperatures.
Also, a channel catfish will outgrow your tank within a year or so if well cared for.
My suggestion would be replace the channel catfish with a pleco and replace the pumpkin seed with another large South American Cichlid.

Oscars are very aggresive fish and will eat anything that can enter their mouth(sometimes even if it doesnt)...if you get a though fish like a jack dempsey it should work with a big aquarium...remeber they are territorial...

If you have a "red" Oscar, your limited on what you can place with them. Had Oscars, could only put a"armor plate sucker fish" with them. Tried everything else, put the Oscars attacked all others.

don't put any fishes along with Oscar because it is so vigorous.I'd kept two Oscars in the same tank.one of them was injured &killed by the other
