Ultimately, no, a 100 gallon tank will not be big enough for those four fish. Each of these fish require about 50-70 gallons each, so you’re going to ultimately need about a 200-280 gallon tank for these four fish. If your fish are still small and not full-grown, a 100 gallon will work for a while. But, be prepared to upgrade again. The basic rule for determining filtration for tropical fish is that the filter move 4 times the amount of water per hour as the size of the tank. So, if you have a 100 gallon tank, you need a 400 gph filter. A 200 gallon tank would require an 800 gph filter. As far as heater, any will do just so it has an adjustable thermostat. Make sure that you have a thermometer as well to keep track of the temperature. Oscars (Cichlids) like sandy bottoms and lots of rocks, caves and plants that will divide their territories.
