Green terror or Texas Cichlid

Generally I believe gts are less aggressive but in the end it's all about individual fish and their own personalities.
Have a tank on standby just in case or a dividse. Keep a close eye and the rest should be good.

I would go green Texas. If you can go Escondido. I wouldn’t recommend a pair though; they can get too agressive in pairs. Here are mine though. Really active hardy colorful guys
I personally would not put a texas in there. Much higher aggression level than Oscar or severum on average, in my experience. Green terror would be better, but still no guarantees.
Honestly, I would put more peaceful fish with your sev and O, which are relatively nonaggressive SA cichlids. Maybe some blue acaras, or guianacara, similar.

I have had both and would say that aggression wise there is little between them, however there are few freshwater fish that boast an amazing strong marine like colour like the Texas cichlid. Males tend to kill off other males unfortunately but the females are colourful too! can't say that for female green terrors.
Texas are often very aggressive. I had a 2” nearly kill my 10” Oscar and tank mates a few years back. Cool looking but insane.
I just started a new 125 and have a GT in with Oscar and severum. Currently working very well.
