The options are too numerous...specially with your size tank (150 USG). Figure out what type of fish; Cichlids (NW or african), small Community fish, large community fish, oddball predators...etc. Do some research and when you figure out what kind of fish you want, then we can suggest what types of stocking you could have.

oscars saw them in shop and liked them but kids dont lol

am very tempted by giant gourami to be honest

If your looking for additional bottom dwellers, I recommend my personal favourites, Corydoras. Keep each species in group of 6 or more, get around 30 with varying species, and it will add alot of nocturnal activity and enjoyment to the tank.

Just my idea
