Looking for one that is large(girth wise) then a senegal but won't outgrow a 125, I like the ornates but afraid they will eat my other fish.How big around does a Delhezi get? or a weeksii? was looking in the range of something as thick as a 20oz soda bottle
What Poly should I buy?

Right now stocking for the 125 will be a pair of wild caught Oscars, one Jack dempsey(male from the looks of it) and I was wanting to add a green terror. Wanted to add a small colony of clown loaches, maybe 5 or 6... they are like 13 bucks each here at 2"s 
The only thick bichirs I know of are Endlicheri Endi and Endlicheri Congicus but those grow way over 2 ft in length. If you're lucky you may be able to find shortbody version of it. Your best options for bichirs that are 12"-14" long are palmas polli and Delhezi. Keep in mind bichirs are more ropelike than thick. If you want thick get a channa gachua, bowfin, or a pike cichlid.
Im really wanting to stick to Bichirs.Plus the channa gachua(snakeheads) are not legal in my state. I might just have to get an ornate
Keep in mind that ornate are not active bichirs so may be bore fast if you're into active fish. Senegal and Delhezi bichirs are the most active.
i personally wouldn't add a bircher in a 125 with 2 Oscars a jack dempsey and a greet terror
my advice would be to not get a green terror because that tanks is pretty much completely stocked with those three fish and then a gt would overstock it so i would not get a gt and then just get an ornate bircher
