Starting a new 150 gallon with a 40 gallon sump. I was wanting to stock it with 1 albino oscar, 2 electric blue dempsey, 1 normal Dempsey, and 1 stray night cichlid. I will be adding them at the same time as juveniles, It will have plenty of hiding places ect. Any concerns or issues with this list?

Well have that many jack dempseys could be an issue, but it could work out, just be careful of aggression issues and be ready to rehome any one of those fish
I am iffy about the three JDs. They can breed when they are still small and may try to take over the tank.
Also you are trying to mix fish from three different continents, from three different water peramaters.

Their pH is all around the same, about 7. I don't think their water parameters are too different to make them incompatible
That five potentially large fish with large attitudes. Plus the risk of a pairing. A lot more "what if" scenarios there than i myself would want to worry about.
