ok i have a 55 Gallon and a 90 Gallon. Plan on getting a 75 this week.

in my 55 gallon i have 9- 1" and under JD...which i am just growing out and giving back to the LFS. I have a 2" female firemouth cichlid...a 1 1/2" female convict, a MEAN salouis african cichlid which im also trading to the LFS. a 4" pleco, 2 2" pictus cats..3 female rams, 1 male rams...when they pair im giving the other 2 females back to the LFS. and 4 Gouramis, 2 giants danios..i have an AC110 coming in for the tank...right now i have 2 AC30's and 2 AC50's on it. i know its a crazy stock right now...dudnt realize i was gonna get into cichlids..i should of never got the african. now i love ca/sa and wanted to get maybe another firemouth.. i also wanted to know what other types of ca/sa i could get. i really like cuckatoo cichlids and geos...i just dont know enough about stocking this..thanks guys..and nothing can go in the 90 :( cuz the piranhas...well maybe the convict ahah jk
 
so ure getting rid of all the fish in the 55 and getting a 75 but nothing can go into the 90??
 
im keeping all the tanks...the only thing thats leaving in the 55 are 8 JDs. I plan on keeping 1. i want to keep all the rams. so if they dont fight much i will be keeping them...the convict i will keep.

so i guess what i am asking what can i put with a convict. jack dempsey, GBRs, and a firemouth. would another firemouth be ok?
 
another firemouth would be ok in that tank.

as for the 75G what were you thinking of?

theres loads you could keep in there.

how about:

male GT
male carpinte
male EBJD
3 dithers (any of your choice)
a pleco maybe.
 
blue acaras are good, stay pretty small and mellow, similar to firemouths in that regard
 
thanks for your response...so for a firemouth should i add another female or add a male? or does it not matter? i have a female convict so i dont know if they would pair up.
 
the problem with geos and dwarves is that neither are near the aggression level of the cons and the african, so you would need a more peaceful stocklist. as for the GT, the problem is size considering current stocklist
