You can certainly try. I mean, im not saying you cant try, just saying your tank MAY be more peaceful in my opinion if you take another route.

If i were you, a black ghost, a couple senegalus or a senegalus, delhezi, palmas polypterus, the green terror and maybe a small shoal of silver dollars. Sounds pretty sick to me.

I dont have a green terror lol I have a green texas cichlid. But im not sure if i want to do just 1 cichlid I want to do maybe 3-4 or just 3 then a school of silver dollars. Then maybe a fire eel, senegal bichir and a black ghost knife

Would something like this work?

1 Green Texas Cichlid
1 Red Devil Cichlid
1 Firemouth cichlid
1 Salvini Cichlid
6-8 Silver Dollars
2-3 Bichirs
1 Black Ghost Knife
1 Fire Eel (Maybe)
 
Personally I would avoid the red devil, I think the texas and the devil would likely clash, similar body shapes, both would want to be dominant. Salvini and firemouth should be decent choices, though FM might be a bit outmatched aggression wise
I would let the texas be the largest cichlid, and replace the red devil with two or three other 6-7" max cichlids. The texas will be dominant, and there will be enough of the smaller fish to spread the aggression around. Some species to look into:
Cutteri
panamensis
Honduran red point
centrarchus
I'd also do large tetras like Buenos aires instead of the silver dollars, the SD"s get real big and will add a lot of bioload for dithers.

Alright,

1) What would be some nice common species for a substitute? Do they have to be Central Americans?

2) Could i do a rope/reed fish?

3) Could i do Boesemani Rainbowfish as dithers?

4)Would a Jaguar cichlid work or no?

5) Would a Jardini Arowanna work?

6) Would the fire eel be fine?

7) Could i do some type of larger pleco?

Sorry for all the questions
