What is your tank size? All of these grows big and need good sized tank.

parrots are not good with this group. Green terror and oscar are semi aggresive while parrots are very aggresive fish. also consider tank size.

None of the above mentioned fish will work long term in that tank. Would suggest mid sized cichlids like firemouth, Salvini etc.

Can also go for Honduran red points, rainbow cichlids ( multispinosus), Guianacaras, Jewels, Brichardis, etc....
Please don't mix the different types without research or asking around, but don't ask the LFS they will sell everything to you.
