Your tank is only big enough for one Oscar.

Good point OFL

Also you dont want a breeding pair in with other fish, none of them would be happy. The breeding fish will be constantly fighting the others off and the others would be pushed into one end of the tank

Get a bigger tank!

Well, for all those fish? atleast a 100 gallon tank,in my opinion! males have pointed dorsal fins and females are brighter,and females have a bit more aggression than males.
