Sorry to be negative but none of those will work (although i'm not sure about the mbuna as i know nothing about them). I think the tank would be too small for a Male GT or Oscar. The Oscar would probably eat the Ancistrus. You could do the Con, Firemouth and Pictus with a shoal of something.

What a bummer !, ive been told many times that all of these stocking would be alright though , i undestand about the oscar ,but the green terror would be alright in that tank , the green terror is not THAT big , thinking about the 2nd stock ...

Yea 75g bare min for a single oscar to avoid problems but I have 2 75s 1 for an oscar and the other with a mbuna set up.. Personally I love my Africans There is just soo much to watch.

Ps that oscar isn't even a year old lol

Rainbow cichlids or fire mouths could work. Convicts would be another option but they breed frequently.

yeah i wouldnt do any of those in that tank. have a look at shell dwellers, you could do some nice shellies in that tank

Im wary of pictus at the moment. I had one, never saw it because it was nocturnal, and it ate my cories. But you have more substantial fish, so you dont have to worry about that. Id dissuade you from the pictus because its nocturnal, so you might not get to see it as often as youd want. Something to bear in mind.
