I know they are all aggressive but would I be able to keep a green terror, jag and oscar in a 125 gallon if I got them all when they are small.
fish compatability

really depends on the individual fish. I'd say you'll be fine with the oscar and GT unless one of them is just way above average with their aggression, but the jag is gonna make it a much tougher combo, as of the 3 they're the most territorial/aggressive, and also get the largest if it's a male
My Jag grew to domiante my 125. Tankmates were fine at first but as the Jag grew, so did the size of its territory. it didn't openly pursue the others, but if they crossed his territory he made sure that he sent them off with a sound pounding. The size of its territory was about 3/4 of the tank before it was given to a friend. It was not my only Jag that I've had. But of the others it was the most tolerant of tankmates. I think a Jag and GT with large dithers would work very well. Just make sure that you create sight breaks and cover. I wouldn't put an Oscar with a Jag personally. I have seen Oscars get hurt and killed by adult Jags. But get all your fish while they are young and see how it works. Then you'll see what fish needs to go. Good luck.
If I decide not to go with the jag is there any other fish that I could put with the oscar and gt

tons, just depends on what you're in to
bichirs, catfish, other cichlids, dithers, plecos, gotta give people more to work with lol
Yeah Jag may be a bit too big at adult size. you can try it and if doesn't work out sell it to someone with a bigger tank or you can perhaps get another fish instead, severums get pretty big and are not nearly as aggressive as the rest. perhaps a red terror if you can find one.
Man this is hard there are so many cool looking fish and most of them are not compatible with one another.
