    I just bought the Green Terrors on monday and I figured that my Oscars (1 tiger, 1 red they are totally in love! i think) would be able to hold their own and stand up for themselves.....especially since they are like an inch bigger than the terrors but i was very wrong...i am very worried about my oscars...i have never seen them swim away from another fish in fear! should I take the terrors out and get a few more oscars?
    i know i'm supposed to ask these Q's in the correct forum.....oh well :)

    I think you have enough Oscars especially because you also have pacus which will get bigger than the Oscars. I had 1 oscar 13" and 1 clown knife 18" in a 55 and that was not enough space.

    So with catfish(can get large depending on type), 2 oscars, 2 pacus you could have a really nice environment just stay away from any more large growing fish.

    lose the green terrors, and go with some convicts... They are really cool and breed like mad.

    After I gave my clown knife away I had gotten convicts which lived very happily with my Oscar.. They moved out of his way.

    This is all just my opinion but had freshwater for years and most of the fish you have mentioned.
