I would say you will already be very heavily stocked tbh. I would not add any more fish. You will find with two adult oscars and jack dempseys your nitrates will rise very quickly and water will not stay clean for long. Will need large weekly water changes at least.
Personally think you would be better off leaving the JD's in the 75 and letting the oscars and bichirs have the 125.
