I've brought a 210cm l x 52 cm h x 60cm w tank.

I'm planning on adding an oscar, a blue dempsey, a pleco of some sort (undecided yet). What about a convict or jewel cichlid?

Any other ideas of what to add or would I be reaching stocking capacity? Remember I'm in New Zealand, so if you come up with some great suggestions, there's a lot of fish we can't get here compared to you guys over there :(
 
see my siggy for my tanks stocking
 
I haven't done the conversion but that sounds like a fairly large tank. I would imagine you could get away with that stock list just fine. Make it a pair of convicts for even more fun....;)
 
The stinging cat looks awesome! Unfortunately another we can't get here :(

I'm not too much a fan of the Firemouths, Jaguar or Green Texas. Green Terrors I've never seen here, if I search deep in my memory I think they are here but are extremely rare. I'll ask on our fish forum. Convict I do want, however, I want something other than your normal black/white striped, which seem to be the only ones I can find here so far though I do know there are others, they just hardly come up for sale. But I am keeping my eye out for them :)

It would be about 655 litres gnuisance.

You provided measurements in centimeters:
Width: 210cm (82.68")
Height: 52cm (20.47")
Depth: 60cm (23.62")
Your tank's volume is 655200 cubic centimeters or 655.2 liters, which is approximately 168.43 U.S. gallons.
 
Geo s are great fish( heaps to chose from) mine are getting along well with my oscars , blue acaras are great looking fish once they get some size, in a tank that size something that schools would be great.
 
Thanks the Blue Acaras do look pretty. What are considered schooling fish which can go with SAs? I'm not a fan of Silver Dollars lol
