Goodbye oscar

I've gotta warn you..... Having 2 Geophagus Balzani and 4 firemouths in that 75 gal. AND adding the oscar may not be a good ideah. You will be fine for a while, but when they all start to grow, and get larger, the Oscar will start wanting more tank space to himself, forcing all the other fish to another side, and will most likely end up killing your other fish. That's not even mentioning the bio-load all those fish will have on the tank. ONE oscar requires a MINIMUM of 55 gal. to himself when full grown. That leaves 20 gal for 2 Geophagus Balzani and 4 firemouths (not enough room for those fish!)..... 20 gal. is enough room for the bio-load of 1 firemouth. Leaving you with enough room to house 1 oscar, and 1 firemouth with the fish being happy and healthy. Unless you are planning on getting another tank, I would not suggest getting another oscar.

maybe my lfs has a nice ruby albino
I completely agree with lostfedexman...I would try something that will stay much smaller and relatively peaceful like keyholes, festivum or maybe a severum.
