75 gallon stocking ideas?

[Destroyer551]

So while I was cleaning out my garage when I happen to come upon an empty 75 gallon tank, hood with lights, and a eheim canister filter! It's amazing what you find in a packrat's garage! Now I want to set this up as a cichlid community/breeding tank. I'm thinking about adding some easy to breed cichlid, let them breed and leave the fry be, a survival game. So my questoin is, what's a good looking cichlid, relativly easy to breed, and isn't overly aggressive? I'm thinking about convicts but I hear they can be very aggressive when breeding. How many can fit in a 75 gallon?

fire mouth not to aggressive and stunning in color. great behavior to. you could get by with 2 pairs plus some dithers in a tank that size.

rainbow cichlids (herotilapia multispinosa) stay small, about 4", and are community-friendly cichlids . . . like the Firemouth, they are CA cichlids . . .

i would do either firemouths or one of the convict's cousin species like sajica, nanoluteus or HRP.

My vote is for rainbows. but firemouths or sajicas would be nice as well. The reason I like rainbows so much is they live in crowded areas with lots of other rainbows and they make a great community all by themselves
