my pearsei cichlid sadly died. but i was going to recycle the tank and get a new stock. My Asian upside catfish stressed him out so much that he got too weak to fight off desises or parasites. He was doing fine until i put the catfish in.

would 2 blood parrots and 1 severum cichlid and 1 other smaller cichlid that gets 4-6 inches work. i know it is a heavy stock but i have enough filtration for a 90 gallon tank. what other cichlid would do good with this stock

I used punctuation this time and i used spell check. LOL!!!!

my lfs has many exotic fish and occasionally a BIG fish.

I am not looking for aggressive fish. I am looking for pretty fish with tons of personality. I grew out of wanting the most aggressive fish.

my mom woulld go crazy if i sold them she loves them i think they are kinda cute to and they have a great personality i wold never give them away or sell them
 
sucks the fish died. I would think long and hard about what you wanna do. I think a male GT or a midas would be nice but the midas would need a upgrade

While I admire your attempt at proper punctuation and spelling (albeit still pretty rough), I have to say that that stock is WAY too much for a 65 gallon, even without adding the fourth cichlid.

My opinion? Stick to one med sized "wet pet" type fish or a pair of smaller fish. Doubt you'll listen to any of the advice given, but it's worth a shot for the fish's sake.
