Yeah there is a good chance that your Green terror and Cons will pick the oscar off then. Can I make a recomendation? If you are looking for a really tough non cichlid that blends EXTREMLY well with a cichlid community, get one of these guys:

Leporinus fasciatus, pictures inside

No actually the leporinus actually gets along very well with pretty much any cichlids you put them in with. And they can defend themselves if need be too.

alright good, but the clown loaches would it hurt them?

Most likely in self defence, Ive kept Leporinus for a long time and Ive come to the conclusion that while they are not bullies, the dont actively go after other fish, if they are attacked by another fish, they are TOUGH customers and will most certailny fight back, but instigators they are not:) Ive never kept clown loaches but Ive heard that the Leporinus will actually try to school with them occasionally:)
 
alright thats perfect for a tank like that. But is there any cichlids that i could put in there, and im going to bed good night. Something that is kinda like a jag, but isnt, like a red devil or something. So just give me some input.

Well just look at my fish list, Ive got 2 Jags in with a leporinus:)
 
First of all, on the suggestion of the leporinus, I'd stay away they can be very aggressive and number two, go with the oscar none of the fish that sg1 said would attack it will, number three the oscar grows very fast and gt's and con's don't, and finally I would add a small pim or syno catfish.
 
To add to that, a festae or grammodes might do well in there.
