i have a 75gal and a 40gal but in the 75gal has an oscar,flowerhead JD and convict and before taking them back to the pet store i was thinking of putting the JD and the convict in the 40gal would it work out? and any suggestions for nicer fish for 75gal???

40 gallon would work for the convict, going to be too small for a JD to live in for life.
75 gallon might work for just the flowerhorn alone. Oscar and flowerhorn won't work in a 75 for long. FH much more aggressive than O's usually, plus both fish get a bit large for a 75.
I find two aggressive or semi-aggressive cichlids in a tank is not a good number, unless a pair. The dominant one will bully the subdominant one.
I would recommend selling Oscar and flowerhorn, putting JD in the 75 with the convict (Could add a few smaller things with them like dithers) and then you would have the 40g open for more fish. Might recommend a pair or trio of apistos and a school of tetras for the 40.

Agree with everything said by Gourami Swami.
