your tank is overstocked i thnk you could keep 2-3 of those fish together in there. The oscar, jad and gt will probably get beaten up alot by the jag and rt if assuming theyre both aggressive. i think youd be pushing it to keep the jag and rt together in the tank, it could work but i think one will get the worse of it. the gt will grow slower than everything so that eill be vulnerable (im assuming theyre all juveniles). i think the oscar, jd, salvini and gt might be able to work with the plecos but the smaller ones might get eaten depening on the size of the oscar. you might be able to keep the jag and o together something like that and maybe just the one big pleco.

as for the dovii a 30gal is WAY too small they need at least an 8x2x2 240gal for life.

good luck i hope you work something out

Some great advice above. I'll just add that the idea of the oscar, jd, salvini, and gt along with one large pleco may be the best idea. In my opinion it's the most likely to work. Definitely get the dovii out of the 30 gallon.

A dovii is small for a 30 gallon. A dovii is small for a 180 gallon. Sell the dovii unless you have a big tank for him

Definitly overstocked as others have said and good job seeking advice. But there is no way to tell other than the obvious fish like (jag, red terror, and sal) who will be an issue.

Getting a comm of sa/ca is allot of work. Sometimes the fish that causes the most trouble is a surprise. I had to rehome an oscar because he took over a 150 gal and was an @ss, later a yellow acara did the same, further down the road a pearsei did the same thing. After lots of trial and error i was able to get him to co exist with a small heterospilus and some bichirs. It really is just hit or miss.

Lol i gave up one cichlid per tank is enough for me.

If it were me i would rethink the whole set up or pick 1 or 2 that i like best

You need 3-4 tanks to keep all those fish for a year or two. Couple 150/180 gallon tanks and a 300 gallon or bigger would be great.
