Alright, Now one of my LFS has a group of Firemouths between idk 3-4 inches or so. Would I maybe get lucky and be able to tell a pair in the tank and just buy the two or should I still buy a bunch of them to be safe. and what is their growth rate like?

One why would you put a 12" fish in a 12" tank? Two your info is wrong oscars max at 12-14".

buy 4 to be safe, and when a pair forms, take the rest back. a pair will defend one area of the tank away from the others... so you will know when a pair forms.
If you're just keeping one tank and want to keep firemouths and breed them, I would get some high quality stock. The majority of firemouths I see really aren't the best quality. I would get some of the F1's Rapps is selling, that's just me. You might be able to find something nice locally, I never can.

I cant wait to see your setup.I love firemouths they are one of my fav fish and I have only kept them twice.I have been thinking about putting one in my 95g but I think I might be over the stock limit as is.
