It might or might not work. All depends in the personality of the fish. They are also territorial, but it's your call. If you really want the livestock, then why not?

the oscar i see possibly getting bullied.i would try a male salvini,better yet all males.i would do without the BGKF.maybe add a vieja type
 
I agree with the BGKF not being in that mix. Otherwise that might be a pretty good stock list if the fish are all put in as young and grown out together.
 
It would help if the Oscar is bigger than the rest. As big as they get and as mean as they look, they tend to get bullied by other cichlids and yes, it's solely relies on the fishes personalities. Unfortunalty cichlid tanks can be like puzzles and you have to find the right pieces that work.

All those fish will fit and can work..... bit most likely get mad aggression and end up with like 2 fish. I wouldn't try the bgk. Even mine is pretty aggressive and bits fish in the face if they go in his log. Especially with the new festae I put in with him

I need to spark up my fish life
 
This is me trying to spark up my fish life! :)

Thing is I already have most of the fish and they have been living well together (jag goes through stages of being a sh*^head) for the past year. All the fish are reaching adult stage: The Oscar is the current boss at over 30cm, Jag 24cm and the female GT and male Jack Dempsey are 18cm, BGKF 30cm+ and the 2 cuckoo cats are 18cm.

What I want is this: A tank with all my favourite Americans of my favourite sexes. Sounds simple enough, right? :P The other Americans I don't have which I would like to get (most of which I've owned at some point, and had in this tank) are:

Carpintis Escondido (Male)
Replace the female GT with a striking male GT (Gold Saum)
Red Salvini (female)
Female Festae
Male Firemouth

So you know what I have, what I would like to get.... What would you do??
 
maybe try 1or two of the big guys with 2-3 smaller guys
