4 x Silver Dollars
2 (3) x Pimelouds Maculatus
Be too much for a 120 gallon dual overflew, with a trigger 36 sump?
If you want plants, oscars are usually problematic, they are omnivorous and will chew most plants into smithereens.
Something like papyrus would work because its like eating cardboard, but at least 1/3rd of the plant needs to be above the water level, most normal aquarium plants would be considered salad.

Its a 6ft, 150 gal, stocked with Madagascans, (Paratilapia polleni 1 male 3 females, And a shoal of Paretroplus maculatus).
for a while I grew out some Cinelichthys bocourti in the tank, but they ate the papyrus, so I moved them to a 400 gal kiddy pool. (they are the small yellowish ones.
Debatable if that is too much, I think you could get away with it if you were willing to do two decent sized water changes a week. If you are concerned or would rather stock on the light side, I'd remove either the SD's, the Pimelodus, or the gaeyi.
If more work means more Diversity, it is something I can pay to do no matter what but think I mite only get 2 Maculatus
