In a few years they may start eating things like your oscars and anything else that are under 12".

That is if they reach 18-24" in that time. But Buy then you will be happy to have had the food available if they did decide to take out a couple of their mates... Though Johnptc has some Large ones with considerably smaller mates....

His set up is pretty large.. Yours looks large too. The main thing i would get ready for is since you already have LARGE fish... Maintinence will get more necassary when you get more

i'd personally not grow them out with aggressive cichlids....
but other than that should be fine.
oh...and....BIG BIG BIG.
