in a 125g can 1 oscar , jack d , gold saum , senegal bichir , and carpintis or regular texas get along together?

I am a bit worried to introduce a texas seeing as the jack and terror have metallic markings and it might mistake them for another texas.
are carpintis less aggressive than regular texas cichlids?
 
i got 1 oscar, had 1 JD and a senegal and they lived together just fine... but every fish is different so idk try it..
 
I already have all the fish together , besides the carpintis . and they getting along really well so far.
 
From what i've read texas (both forms) are more aggressive then a JD/Oscar. As posted above you can try it out and hope for a saint but im betting when they're fully grown the texas will go on a rampage.

I've had these fish for a while and I can't risk them being decimated.
I'll have to look for something more peaceful.
 
Yeah probably not worth the risk.. Most of the texas ive seen in LFS are 8" and have been ripped out of CA/SA tanks for being too agro. Its a shame because theyre so attractive.
 
thats , why I wan't one so bad , they have beautiful markings and just the right size hump. and I've seen a few with purple eyes .

can anyone suggest fish that are really attractive but will get along with the group?
