LOL@Jack Daniels. To answer your question I think that a tank no smaller than 200 gallons could hold all of those fish.

i ask because the lps i buy most of my "hardware" supplies (i.e. non-fish stuff) had one green terror and one jack dempsey in a 180g and were about to add the 3 oscars, and another terror and dempsey to the mix. apparently the oscars were in a 29g in back, so they are definitely getting a lot more room, but i still thought that tank was not quite big enough for all those fish for long-term

i think they will all be fine
jacks take a very long time to grow to a respectable size and oscars a pretty much peaceful for a cichlid so i think evry one will be happy in a 180
