New stocking for a 4 ft 150 gallon aquarium

Because it is only a 4' tank, I would suggest picking one of the species of Cichlid to keep with your silver dollars. Some Hoplosternum or Pimelodus cats in a group of 4 or so would probably work.
for a 4 foot tank it must be 48"x24"x30" to add up to 150. which means its pretty big so i think you probably could get away with your stock.
maybe not forever, you may have to remove some fish as they get larger and territorial disputes become an issue but ive seen far worse stocked tanks that functioned.
If your synspillum turns out to be a male then it might be a bit cramped in a 4 foot tank as they tend to get pretty big, you could go for one of the smaller vieja species, they are all very colourful, or just try for a female.

My aquarium dimensions are 48-24-30 and I run 2 emperor 400 on it I also use a powerhead to help circulate water to the surface to create more oxygen in the aquarium instead of the bubble wands
Anyone else have any ideas what if I started off with full grown guts and added the Oscar and synspillum at a decent size do you think I can pull it off cause I like to be able to see my fish as Iam impatient on waiting forever for these fish to grow
Sorry that was supposed to have read full grown green terrors but abbreviated I was typing in a hurry sorry
I would pass on the synispilum, and go with the jd and either the O or the GT. As for cats some pictus or a couple of 4 line pims.
