2 Oscars, 2 Jack Dempseys, 1 Jaguar, 1 Red Terror, 1 Green Terror? does that sound like it would work? or does it sound like an anger managment class waiting to happen?
 
Might work if they are all the same size and kept well fed. But if you end up with a breeding pair, then you'll have to take them out.
 
Keep the lights on 24/7 and you'll cut down the aggression. Eventually though you'll have problems if your green terrors are smaller than the rest, which will surely happen with their slower growth rate. Put lots of hidey holes and rocksape the crap outta the tank so they have places to manuever into to hide. That should help keep aggression down too, since it will cut down the territory sizes.
 
Whatever you do don't keep the lights on 24/7 that is just friggin cruel........AS juvnilles things should work ok, when they get about mid-sized I think you can forget about it, although on second thought the tank might be overcrowded enough that no one fishy is the target....
 
add some target fish such as silver dollars or bala sharks, sounds crowded already (for full grown sizes) so have tons of filtration
 
Anger management classes waiting to happen.... you've picked all aggressive large fish..
 
why would you want to keep the lights on constantly??? All that would achieve is stressing your fish not to mention you would be scraping algae all the time.
 
i have heard all of your opinions, and i agree with you all. i want these guys growign up together so they might not be as hostile, plus they all will be going in a 200+ gallon tank in a few years. i have guys at the local fish store who have offered to take any if they get mean. I may go ahead and return the Jaguar, and i am having trouble finding a red terror, so it may just sit at Oscars, JDs, and a GT! BUT I REALLY LIKE THE RED TERRORS!!!

If i got rid of the GT and Jaguar, you think a pair of convicts or firemouths would be okay?
