IMO you will need a 125+. The O will get large enough to dominate that 75 to himself. And the two severums will get fairly large too 8"+. The BN wont affect the stocking too much really. But againg SD's get fairly large so they will require the extra space. The female con will likely be the smallest fish in there, so just watch her if you get a large O. With a 125 you will not only give the fish more space but it will make keeping the water in good condition easier too.
 
You could also get a couple more fish if you got a 125
 
Probelm is i can only fit a 4ft in my front room, i already have the stock but no oscar or dollars, i really want an oscar after seeing how interactive my friends is, but im really attatched to my pink con couldnt get rid of her, i like my severums but love the con the most cos i had her for years from a tiny fry, shes got a big hump on her head like a small midas and her body is as much orange as it is white :P
 
If i was to start my stocking again could i do this...

because i dont think i can upgrade (i only have a small house)

1 x Albino Oscar
1 x Red Severum
1 x Pink Convict
1 x Bristlenose
