If raised together this might work but if you just buy them as adults you may have some fights IMO. I would say pick 2 of the top 3 listed and then you can probably get the rest on your list too. I currently have the oscar and JD and they like to push each other around.

It may work but i see the sev possibly getting bullied once everyone is grown. But as youngsters it should be fine, just watch the Oscar as it will have the fastest growth out of the group and may cause issues should it get substantially bigger

I have a 9" Green Terror, 11" Oscar, and a 5" Jack Dempsey in the same 150 gal tank. Occasionally the GT and Oscar will get upset with each other...but 99% of the time all is good. Some individuals will get along...and other won't.

I also have a 9" Jack Dempsey (in another tank). I'm sure it would be a war-zone if I put him in the tank with the Oscar & GT.
