I think it will be ok with good filteration. but i dont think GT would be a good idea. I had a GT a few years ago and he didn't tolerate any tank mates.
My suggestion would be 1 O, 1 JD and 2-3 Pictus catfish.

1 full grown oscar requires 55 gal tank (ideally), and any additional fish
requires 25 liters of water for every inch size. adequate filter is needed
too to avoid bioload problems.

i will go for an o and a school of clown loaches.

for a 100 gal tank, FX5 would be enough and 6 CL will be perfect.
they grew slowly as against o.

You will be ok with your volume of fish. I would avoid the greent terror as they are too aggressive for an oscar, they are not called green terrors for nothing. How about a blue acara instead. Not as nice looking as a GT but still looks good
