I think you would end up with a dead jag or red tigers, and the green terrors wont be able to hold there own against the rest of the stock. Two parachromis spp won't work well in the same tank,

What do you recommend for the stocking list?

I can envision only 1 Green terror or 1 Texas Cichlid going in there .... anymore you add , it may lead to a massacre as one of them begins dominant

Hey , sorry if I was not clear.
Not one of each kind .... then you will have a lot of them dead till you have the last one standing.

I am saying ,just 1 fish in that tank ... it could be either a Green terror or Texas Cichlid.

Imo you don't want fish that look similar in shape or colour. I watch alot of YouTube videos and have not seen many long term community success, even someone with a 600 and 1000 gal tanks has a lot of stock disappear and change with no explanation. All male tanks can sometimes work but if your wanting to breed festae that's out, parachromis, vieja tanks can work but you don't like vieja so that's out, have you considered getting two 180 gal tanks instead of one large tank, that way you can have a breeding pair of festae and a breeding pair of jags.

I am considering making it around 350-400 gallons with a side 100-150 for breeding festae’s and I have a 80 gallon tank as a spare maybe for breeding red tigers, and then I could use the 350 as a community of some sorte. What do you think would be the best working 350 community, keep in mind I want some aggressive fish

Trouble is aggressive and community don't go together, also remember you might need another divider for the festae if the male gets two much for the female.
