I'm stuck on what to keep as im a bad impulse buyer :P what do you think i should keep in my 120g (4x2x2)

These are my options

Option 1

1 Jag
1 Green Terror
1 somethign else...undecided
1 Gibbi plec
3 Silver Dollars

Option 2

1 Oscar
3 Severums
1 blue acara
1 gibbi plec
3 Silver Dollars

Option 3

3 Severums
1 Blue Acara
12 Medium sized Tetras
1 Bristlenose Plec
3 Silver Dollars
2 Angels

Option 4

1 Oscar
1 Green Terror
2 Severums
3 Silver Dollars

Option 5

1 Green Terror
3 Severums
1 Blue Acara
3 Silver Dollars
 
i would go with 4, would look sweet and would be awesome to have the 2 best fishies (O and GT) in tank together :)
 
Ok :)

How does this sound guys

Oscar
Green Terror
Blue Acara
3 x Severums
3 x Silver Dollars
Gibbi Plec

Is that a bit over crowded?

Also i have a Juvi Jag at the mo, could i keep him until he starts kicking ass?
 
I think that could work if you started the fish out small. The oscar and green terror will both outgrow the acara but aggression shouldn't be an issue if they've grown together.
 
Should i get the Oscar soon then? i was concerned he would outgrow everything or even munch everything! lol

How long do you think i could safely keep my Jag until he becomes a problem? (he is currently 1.5")

If i am to crowd them all in my 120g...shall i get a fx5?
 
in my 120g at the moment i have a bit of a crazy mix because of my stupid impulse buying.

At the mo i have..

3 x Severum (red, gold, green) varying sizes between 3"-5"
1 x Blue Acara 3"
1 x Male Gold Saum 3.5"
3 x Silver Dollars 4"
1 x Clown Loach 3.5" (had him for years..he used to be a part of a group)
18 x Tetras (bentosi, Colombian, Rosys)
3 x Platys :P 2"
1 x Blue Ram 1" (was given him ages ago)
1 x Bristlenose plec 5"
1 x Bulldog Plec 3"
1 x Cory 2"
1 x Juvi Jag 1.5"
2 x Angels 2" and 4"
1 x Female Honduran Red Point 3"

obviously loads will be traded in eventually, i'm just indecisive.

And of course i'm not going to keep the ram with the Jag etc lol! its just the way it ended up :P

here is the tank currently
