Guys I appreciate your comments and that video was about 4 Months from now and now I got another 125 Gal installed with wild river sand and applied the black background to the Aquarium
I loved the way you guys cared for the fish and I myself as a cichlid keeper did this mistake
So I am sorry guys but I will not against do this mistake

Op,
I would refrain from mixing fish like flowerhorns with oscars even in a large tank.
Generally speaking central American cichlids(which essentially a flowerhorn is a mix of)are far more aggressive than most south Americans,like oscars.
A 125 is a step in the right direction but most of the large growing c/a cichlids will need even bigger tanks if you are keeping a few of them.
The flowerhorn will be good as a solo pet in the 125 but could still give fish like oscars a beating even in that footprint.
If you want to breed cichlids look at smaller fish like cryptoheros or thorichthys. You could also try fish like rotkiels or the various acaras.Just don't mix too many together.Its rarely successful in tanks under 200gallons.
Lots of knowledge to be found on mfk so ask here about compatibility before buying fish.
