I currently have a 55 gallon and am looking to either change up my stocking in that one, get a 75g (most likely), or get a 125 gallon. I'll post pics of AqAdvisor stocking and please let me know if you have any suggestions or changes. It is at a higher stocking level with the blood parrot but I'm not sure if that fish will work out anyways so what would be some other options if I don't do the blood parrot?Screenshot_20180517-032841.png Screenshot_20180517-033229.png
 
I'd personally skip AQadvisor. It's a nice little tool but isn't comprehensive. I'd say cut the blood parrot, add more corys and khulis then there you go. In my opinion a parrot is an oddball between all that :)

It gives my tank at 140% stocking but everything is running fine. It's wildly variable.
 
If all of those cichlids end up being breeding pairs, could see there being a lot of competition for territory. Personally would go with 2 species of cichlid instead of 4 and do a group of them, like 1m 3-4f preferably each.
It might work they way you have it listed, but I usually like to keep them in groups. I find it keeps their disputes to their own species, and also stops males from harassing a lone female.
I agree blood parrot not a great addition.
