Huh? 125g tank and considering these fish? Is there a long term option beyond the 125g?

Most of what you mentioned will need a lot bigger than a 125 for life.
The 125 will be a decent home for a single 12 inch fish, maybe a breeding pair. Anything else is a roll of the dice if it will work or not, in my opinion.

i was thinking what i would do is pick two or three fish that temperamentally can get along then raise them together in there to reduce aggression then after a few months upgrade there tank

Firemouth colony with Meeki and Pasionis, swordtails or sailfin Molly's

Instead of a firemouth colony he could do a convict colony and watch as the older fry take care of the younger fry. I’ve always wanted to do that in an 8’ x 4’ x 2’

Just do cherry shrimp. They are fun. And they ride snails
