Freddy, red tiger mota, red/green istlanum's, ornatum, hoogaborum, lyonsi, carpintis all come to mind
Personally I just put 6 red istlanum's in a 75 & I have no regrets. They look great & act like I have them swimming in red bull. la ceiba freddy's & rio blanco mota's are really colorful to.
Out of what you have i'd keep the jag

I would stick with the jag. If you want to change things up you could do a RD (Mine is tons of fun at 5") trimac (Also fun fish) flowerhorn, polleni, buttefokeri tilapia (butchered that name) salvini, Hogaboomorum (if you can find one) or a pair of JD, red or green terrors. Many options.

If you want a display solo piece then you would sell all and look for a male Jag (Honduras), or a male Red Tiger Mota. The Jag look better in body shape but it does look dull at young age.
My Jag around 6 inches and already show it aggressiveness, its start attack my hand/arm when I do the weekly maintenance
