I have a new 125 that I need to stock, the only fish I currently have for it is a 6" male jack dempsey. I was planning on adding an oscar or two as well, other than that I have no ideas on what I would like to add. For filtration I have an AC 110 and eheim 2217. It is a standard 125.
 
Get your O, try to find one a bit bigger than your JD though. Not sure what other fish you'd want in there, I'd probably put a poly, maybe some silver dollars, and a redtailed chalceus if I could find one. Oh and a nice sized cat, maybe a lima shovelnose.

Filtration should be OK but if you find it's not you can always add, nothing wrong with overfiltering...
 
I was thinking of getting a smaller oscar since in a year it will be easily larger than the jd. I was also thinking about getting a male jag, and possibly a male Texas, since I can catch them in a ditch near my house.
