The Lemon Oscar will outgrow the 2 Electric Jack Dempsey ,Senegal Bichir and Black Ghost Knife and the Oscar may view them as food. Tbh don't know how fast the Blood Parrot grows.
Also a captive bred Senegal full grown will be a risk.

I’d replace the sens with something like an endi or ornate, skip the EBD and add the Oscar last or skip the Oscar and everything else is fine
