90g Cichlid Stocking

Welcome to the forum!
Personally, that’s all I’d do in a 4 foot tank.
A gt can single handedly claim a 90 for itself, and a sev would likely get bullied by the rest IME.
I’d instead look into other fish to go with them like catfish and dithers.

If it were me I would get a group of live barer like Plattys or Swordtails, some plants and bottom dwellers such as Cories, Pimelodus pictus, or hoplos "Megalechis thoracata"
This was a 55 I had running for a year and half. In it was a breeding pair of HRPs, tetras, Plattys, Roseline sharks, etc and everything just clicked. Every four weeks the pair would spawn. Fry was consumed within two weeks. And the cycle would start over just as the wild.

I currently have my 75 (same footprint as 90) dedicated to a convict pair and swordtails. Something recommended to me by the very same members above. I enjoy it just as much today as I did over a year ago when I first set it up. Would highly recommend.
With convicts they have such aggressive nature and are always trying to start a fight with other fish I recommend with your convict cichlids which normally they can only get about 5 to 6 in sometimes they can get larger I happen to have a larger male convict cichlid and he is a jerk he'll attack every other fish in the tank no matter what and we'll have to be separated in the coming time but if you have two male convict cichlids in 90 gallon would be okay 
but they sometimes get out of hand and will have to separate them and keeping them with other fish might not always be the best idea now I don't know what your situation is and it could be different but always putting perspective especially you currently have in your tank I don't know if my convict cichlid is just a jerk but I love the the fish species but they can be a big problem sometimes
