So my question is if have 1 125 gallon
W/ common wolf fish 6 inch
Endelzi bichir 6 inch
Cuban cichlid 10 inch
Jaguar cichlid 8 inch
The Cuban and jaguar are a mateing pair
I also have a 150 gallon
W/red wolf 6 inch
Fire eel
Black diamond cichlid 4 inch
2 hybrid jag/Cuban
1 big Oscar 10 inch
Are these fish ok in the tank long term or do I need to make adjustments the temperament doesn't seem bad but the common wolf and bichir hide together all day , the other tank it's getting hard to get food to everyone because the far Oscar eats it all and if anyone has experienced hybrid babies any advice is appreciated

Wolf fish/red wolf and cichlids aren't a great mix long term generally. Would need their own tank.

The other issue is these fish will need larger tanks if you plan to keep together. But I hope you do separate them.

The jag pair and Cuban pair in the 125 will probably not work long term. That tank with just those four is pretty cramped.
What's a common wolf fish? Malabaricus? Don't those guys get freaken huge?

I can only comment on the red wolf fish and the likely common wolf. They will need their own tanks.

I'm not a cichlid expert. But the ones you have require big space long term.

Malas get 20 inches given good care.
