Now that my old BP died, my mom's letting me add fish to the 125 gallon. So far this is the stock list. Each * stands for 1 fish.
3 Blood Parrot*** (4 inches)
2 Green Severum** (5 inches)
1 Green Terror* (2 inches)

I would like to add:
1 Salvinii Cichlid
1 EBJD
4 Jewel Cichlid
3 Plecostomus (any larger species)
3 Tinfoil Barb
If any of the fish fight, I could move 1 of them to my 40 gallon with 1 Red Zebra Mbuna.
 
On the fish you would like to add, you might want to consider this:

The EBJD will not do well esp. if you have a GT and Salvinnii, which are both aggressive.

3 lrg Plecos - BAD IDEA! Lots of waste produced by these guys for a 125g. Maybe just 1.

3 Tinfoil Barbs also not good idea - will get very large for that tank, easily 12-14". Try smaller like Silver Dollars or other barbs.
 
I am for everything but the EBJD and the 3 plecos one is plenty

Leave out the jewels and tinfoil barbs. The jewels will breed and become extremely aggressive and the tinfoils will get way too big. And only get one pleco. The GT will probably kill the BPs and ebjd pretty soon
 
Sorry I meant 1 pleco. Whoops! I probably wouldn't do the tinfoils then, maybe silver dollars? Also not the ebjd. As for my green terror, he's less than half the size of my BPs and Severums. He seems afraid of them. I'm not too worried. Besides, if he gets mean I'll move him.
