shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ok, before everyone jumps down my throat saying eventually I will need to move all these fish to a bigger tank, let me tell you Ive had all these fish before and understand their requirements. This is an idea for a tank that I know I will be upgrading in about 9 months. I will by all these fish at first as babies.

3 red devils
2 tiger oscar
3-4 convicts
1 green devil
 
sounds like a pretty nasty tank haha, but if you're up to it just add lots o' plants and caves and whatnot. as babies im sure they'll be fine
 
Here some ideas

1.if i were you i would just have a red devil alone because i know a lot of people offering free fish because the red devil is having them near death.

2.1 oscar and 2 convicts

3.4 convicts-alone(some catfish,etc.

Every Monster Keeper owns one or several feeder tanks....Breed the convicts in the 55.....Keep the Red Devil in whatever new setup you are planning to upgrade, no other fish with it.....O's are cool.....But it seems, as most hobbyist mature, the majority throw O's within 180-300g Arowana biotopes....This being said, unless you are trying to breed the oscars someday, get rid of it or get a 180 for the two to thrive..lol...Green Devil, you must mean Green Terrors....Good luck on the growouts and post pix.....
 
I have had 3 oscars smashed up bad by cons MUCH smaller...If you get them all as babies you may find the cons mature faster than the oscars and TAN them...
